Dreaming Of
Dreaming Of: Navigating Love's Complexities in Phoebe Green's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
You don't get to choose what makes me blue
You don't have the choice to determine what brings sadness to me.
I don't want to compromise myself for you
I'm not willing to sacrifice or change myself for your sake.
You always find a way back in
You consistently find a way back into my life.
You creep, you crawl under my skin
You sneak into my emotions, affecting me deeply.
I would if I could
Expressing a desire to take a certain action if possible (repeated for emphasis).
I would if I could
-I would if I could
-I would
-You can try to read my mind
You can attempt to understand my thoughts.
You'll misread the signs
You will likely misunderstand the signals or cues I give.
You say condescending things that I despise
You utter patronizing remarks that I strongly dislike.
Keep me shallow, keep me sweet
Encouraging to keep interactions superficial and pleasant.
You're not fond of the way I speak
You disapprove of the way I express myself verbally.
I would if I could
Reiteration of the willingness to take a specific action if possible.
I would if I could
-I would if I could
-I would
-This wasn't what I've been dreaming of
The current situation is not what was hoped or envisioned.
I wanted to feel like I was good
The desire was to feel morally upright or virtuous.
You make me feel like I'm anyone
You make me feel like I could be anyone, lacking a distinct identity.
Does it make you feel less insecure?
Questioning whether this makes the other person feel more secure about themselves.
You know you can't decide what's wrong and right
You lack the ability to determine what is morally right or wrong.
You see everything in black and white
You perceive things in a simplistic, binary manner.
Erased your name from on my phone
You removed your name from my contacts.
But I'm terrified of being alone
Fearful of being alone despite removing the person from contacts.
I would if I could
Expressing a desire to take a certain action if possible (repeated for emphasis).
I would if I could
-I would if I could
-I would
-This wasn't what I've been dreaming of
The current situation is not what was hoped or envisioned (repeated).
I wanted to feel like I was good
The desire was to feel morally upright or virtuous (repeated).
You make me feel like I'm anyone
You make me feel like I could be anyone, lacking a distinct identity (repeated).
Does it make you feel less insecure?
Questioning whether this makes the other person feel more secure about themselves (repeated).
You told me you want me
You expressed a desire for me, but...
Give me something that's temporary
...only if it's something temporary and not lasting.
You're so cruel
You are unkind or heartless.
And I would if I could
Expressing a desire to take a certain action if possible (repeated for emphasis).
I would if I could
-I would
-This wasn't what I've been dreaming of
The current situation is not what was hoped or envisioned (repeated).
I wanted to feel like I was good
The desire was to feel morally upright or virtuous (repeated).
You make me feel like I'm anyone
You make me feel like I could be anyone, lacking a distinct identity (repeated).
Does it make you feel less insecure?
Questioning whether this makes the other person feel more secure about themselves (repeated).
