I've Got Dreams To Remember
Dreams of Love and Heartache: Unraveling John Mayer's Soulful Melody
Lyrics
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
I have dreams that linger in my memory
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Reiteration of the persistent dreams
Honey, I saw you last night
Addressing a past encounter, seeing the person with someone else
An another mans arms holding you tight
Observing the person in the arms of another
Nobody knows what I feel inside
Internal emotional turmoil not visible to others
All I know, I just walked away and cried
Expressing the pain through tears and walking away
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Reiteration of the haunting dreams
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Emphasizing the persistence of these dreams
I know you said he was just a friend
Acknowledging a claim that the person is just a friend
But I saw him kissing again and again
Witnessing the person being kissed repeatedly by another
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Asserting confidence in personal perception
Why did he hold you so tenderly?
Questioning the tenderness of the other person's hold
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Reiteration of persistent and rough dreams
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Continuing to emphasize the haunting nature of the dreams
Rough dreams
Addition of an adjective, suggesting intensity or difficulty in dreams
I still want you to stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay
I still love you anyway
Declaring continued love despite the situation
I don't want you to ever leave
Requesting the person not to leave
Girl, you just satisfy me
Stating that the person satisfies him
I know you said he was just a friend
Reiteration of the claim that the other person is just a friend
But I saw you kiss him again and again
Observing the person kissing the alleged friend repeatedly
These eyes of mine don't fool me
Reasserting confidence in personal perception
Why did he hold you so tenderly?
Questioning the tenderness of the other person's hold again
I've got dreams, dreams to remember
Reiteration of the persistent and intense dreams
