Make Believe
Unveiling Dreams: Phoebe Katis' Make Believe Story
Lyrics
There you are, standing right in front of me, oh I can barely
Expressing the presence of someone in close proximity, creating a sense of anticipation or surprise.
Breathe, are you some kind of make believe?
Questioning the reality of the person's presence, possibly feeling disbelief or uncertainty.
There you go, closing the door, behind you as you take a seat
Observing the person leaving and wondering if their departure is real or symbolic.
Are you really right in front of me?
Doubting the reality of the person's presence despite being physically close.
Oh I'm a mess, I must confess, I've been waiting for someone like you
Admitting personal struggles or emotional turmoil and expressing a longing for a specific type of connection.
To come along, sweep me off, sweep me off my feet
Desiring to be swept off one's feet by someone special who can bring joy or relief.
There you are, standing right in front of me, oh I can barely breathe
Reiteration of the surprise and breathlessness experienced when encountering the person.
Are you some kind of make believe?
Repeating the question about the authenticity or genuineness of the person's existence.
Oh I'm a mess, I must confess, I've been waiting for someone like you

To come along, sweep me off, sweep me off my feet
Reiterating the desire to be swept off one's feet by an idealized romantic partner.
There you are, standing right in front of me, oh I can barely breathe
Echoing the surprise and breathlessness upon seeing the person again.
Are you some kind of, are you some kind of
Pondering whether the person is real or a figment of the imagination.
