Dream of You
Unspoken Desires: The Magnetic Connection in 'Dream of You'
Lyrics
I feel sick to my gut, the possibility of
The speaker feels physically unwell due to the possibility of something.
Seeing you across the street on my way back home
Anticipation or hope of encountering the person while returning home.
It might sound stupid somewhat, but I think I'm in love
The admission of a potentially irrational or unexpected feeling of love.
With a stranger that is my best friend
The object of affection is someone close yet distant, a best friend.
And you don't even know my name
The person of interest is unaware of the speaker's identity.
But I know your eyes so well
The speaker has observed the person enough to recognize them intimately.
I got to know you, nervous glances, awkward talks
Efforts made to connect with the person, marked by nervousness and awkward interactions.
How long can this go on? I can't wait anymore
Impatience and eagerness to progress the relationship due to emotional strain.
I finally met you, two strangers felt so far apart
Initial meeting with the person resulted in a feeling of distance despite the attraction.
But just like magnets, we were glued right from the start
A strong, instant connection or attraction between the speaker and the person.
And you know how to calm me down
The person has a calming effect on the speaker.
And I know I can't wait all weekend to see you
Impatience and longing to spend more time with the person.
I don't think I feel the same as I thought I did yesterday
Reevaluation of feelings, realizing a change in emotions from the past.
The past is just a memory that feels much sweeter
Nostalgia for past memories that seem more pleasant now.
Your cold breath in the air at night
Memories of the person's presence in the cold night air.
You'd wait for me, I'd hold you tight
Recollection of closeness and intimacy shared during nights.
Some of the best nights of my life until the morning
Reflection on joyful moments with the person until morning.
When I leave for work
Separation in the morning for work.
And you'd stay home in my t-shirt
The person's lingering presence through the speaker's clothing.
The smell of you on my clothes
The lingering scent of the person on the speaker's clothes.
The only thing getting me through the day till I get home
Longing for the person's presence to alleviate the day's hardship.
When you sleep, do you dream of me
Wondering if the person dreams about the speaker.
The way that I want to dream of you?
Desire for mutual dreams, symbolizing a desire for closeness and intimacy.
Cause when you sleep, if you dream of me
Hope for shared dreams to be together every night.
We can spend every night together
A wish to spend nights together, fulfilling desires mutually.
And do all of the things that you wanted to do
Expressing a desire to do things together with the person.
We can spend every night together
Reiteration of the longing to spend every night together.
And do all the things we wanted to do
A shared desire to fulfill mutual desires and aspirations together.
