Sometimes I feel It’s just a dream.
Sometimes, the speaker experiences a sensation that life is unreal, akin to a dream.

I can hold you while you sleep.
The speaker takes solace in being able to hold their partner while they are asleep.
Put my fingers through your hair, smell the breath that you breathe.

I’m sleeping in. . .
The speaker emphasizes the act of sleeping in, delaying waking, perhaps to extend the dreamlike state.
Just to dream about you.

Yea I’m sleeping in…

Sometimes I feel I’m in between

I can see you when I dream.

Your beautiful but you’re not real, just a ghost that I keep.

I’m sleeping in. . .
Reiteration of the speaker's choice to sleep in, emphasizing the importance of dreaming about the partner.
Just to dream about you.
Highlighting the act of sleeping in specifically to dream about the significant other.
Yea I’m sleeping in…
Emphasizing again the speaker's preference for sleeping in to prolong the dreamlike state.
I’m sleeping in cause it’s when I dream of you

I can pretend that we’re still in love
During dreams, the speaker can pretend that the love between them and the partner is still alive.
Hold you again, let me wrap my arms around you
Expressing a desire to physically embrace the partner again during the dream state.
I’m sleeping in dreaming, I’m sleeping in dreaming. X4
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the act of sleeping in and dreaming about the partner.
