You Got Dreams
Chasing Dreams Beyond Goodbyes
Lyrics
Why, why do I bother?
Expressing frustration or confusion about a situation.
Even trying
Feeling disheartened or defeated in attempting something.
I could say what's on my mind but
Acknowledging the ability to speak one's thoughts but hesitating due to potential dishonesty.
I'd be lying
Admitting that honesty might lead to a difficult truth.
Cuz I know
Understanding the partner's aspiration for a better life.
You want a better life
Acknowledging the partner's desire for improvement.
And that means leaving me behind
Recognizing that pursuing a better life might involve leaving the speaker behind.
I can't keep you from going on
Accepting the inevitability of the partner moving forward.
But I can't imagine moving on cuz
Expressing difficulty in imagining a future without the partner.
You got dreams
Affirming the partner's dreams as a driving force for separation.
Somewhere without me
Reiterating the partner's desire for a life without the speaker.
You got dreams
Repeating acknowledgment of the partner's independent dreams.
Somewhere without me
Reassuring the partner that it's acceptable for them to pursue their dreams.
But that's okay
Accepting the situation and expressing resilience.
I'll find my way
Expressing confidence in finding a path to reunite with the partner.
To you
Asserting determination to reach the partner despite challenges.
Why, why do I bother even trying
Reiterating the frustration or futility of efforts.
I could say what's on my mind but
Acknowledging the difficulty in being truthful about one's feelings.
I'd be lying
Admitting that honesty might not be the best course of action.
So for now I'm down and blue
Describing a period of feeling low and sad.
It'll be a while till I see you
Anticipating a prolonged separation from the partner.
I hope we could still come through cuz
Expressing a hopeful desire for a positive outcome despite uncertainties.
I don't know what I'd do if
Expressing fear or uncertainty about the partner's departure.
You got dreams
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the partner's dreams.
Somewhere without me
Reaffirming the partner's pursuit of dreams without the speaker.
You got dreams
Repeating acceptance of the partner's independent dreams.
Somewhere without me
Reassuring the partner that their pursuit of dreams is acceptable.
But that's okay, I'll find my way
Accepting the situation and expressing determination to find a path back to the partner.
To you
Reiterating determination to reunite with the partner despite challenges.
And that's okay, I'll find my way
Affirming the commitment to finding a way back to the partner.
To you
Repeating commitment to reaching the partner.
You
Referencing the partner.
You
Repeating the reference to the partner.
