Lyrics
I dreamt that I made love to a thousand ex's
I had a dream where I engaged in intimate relationships with a multitude of past partners.
I dreamt she had your name
In the dream, the person I was with had the same name as you.
Oh I awoke screaming the name of another
Upon waking, I shouted out the name of someone else, creating confusion and uncertainty.
Not one step closer to knowing who to blame
No closer to understanding who is responsible for these emotions.
I dreamt that I made love to a thousand men
In another dream, I had romantic encounters with numerous men.
For a moment in light my sexuality
For a brief moment, I questioned my sexual identity in the dream's light.
Oh I awoke in a panic wondering what it could mean?
Upon waking, I felt panicked, uncertain about the dream's significance.
Would my thousand mothers understand
Wondering if my hypothetical multitude of mothers would comprehend the situation.
Would my thousand fathers still love me
Questioning if my hypothetical many fathers would still love me despite the confusion.
Just tell me it'll be worth the wait. Worth the wait
Seeking reassurance that the confusion and wait will lead to something valuable.
I dreamt that I was an empty nester
Dreaming of being an empty nester, having no children at home.
Docking my boat in the harbor of south Florida
Imagining a scenario where I dock my boat in South Florida, symbolizing a tranquil and wealthy life.
Chumming it up with a thousand other empty nesters, aimless in the offshore, with no charter
Socializing with other empty nesters, aimlessly navigating life without a clear plan.
Happy as a clam and rich as can be, sort of
Experiencing contentment and wealth but with a hint of uncertainty.
Discussing our children's college careers
Talking about our children's college journeys.
And planning out the second half of my life
Planning the latter part of my life after the responsibilities of raising children.
Drinking a shit ton
Indulging in excessive drinking.
And getting to know my wife
Focusing on getting to know my wife better.
Now tell me it was worth the wait. Worth the wait
Seeking confirmation that the wait for a fulfilling life will be justified.
I dreamt that I was successful a thousand times over
Dreaming of achieving success repeatedly.
I dreamt that once I never even tried
Dreaming that, at one point, I didn't even attempt to succeed.
Oh I awoke feeling as though I had seen the other side
Upon waking, feeling as though I glimpsed an alternate reality.
Not one step closer to knowing if I'll ever be satisfied
No closer to knowing if I'll ever be content or satisfied in life.
Tell me it'll be worth the wait
Seeking reassurance that the wait for fulfillment will be worthwhile.
Worth the wait
Seeking confirmation that the patience exercised in waiting will lead to something valuable.
