Lyrics
When I was young I had a dream
Reflecting on a dream from youth.
That I would meet someone like you
Expressing a desire to meet someone special.
And we would have a happy home
Imagining a happy home with the person.
If the world would leave us alone
Desire for privacy and isolation from the world.
So it came to pass it all came true
Confirming the realization of the dream.
You needed me like I needed you
Mutual need and dependence in the relationship.
But the world kept moving on
External factors changing their lives.
And our life was changed by a song
Impact of a song on their life.
Sometimes I wonder and I worry too
Expressing uncertainty and concern.
If I did not know how to sing
Contemplating the role of singing in the relationship.
Would I still have you?
Pondering if the relationship would persist without singing.
That's the time I wished
Regretting a past decision related to a guitar.
I'd never bought that first guitar
Expressing a wish to have never started playing guitar.
I'd be out somewhere in Oklahoma
Alternative life scenario involving fixing cars in Oklahoma.
Fixing cars
Imagining a different career path.
But maybe after my hard working
Acknowledging hard work in the imagined scenario.
Day was through
Speculating on still having the person despite a different life.
I'd still have you
Reiterating the desire to still have the person.
It's hard to have loving on your mind
Highlighting difficulty in maintaining love with external distractions.
With people lining up for it all the time
Observing the competitive nature of love.
And the world I loved went floating by
Reflecting on a lost world and missed signals.
How did I miss the hurt in your eyes
Realizing a failure to recognize pain in the partner's eyes.
