Hopes & Dreams
Albert One Lyrics

If I could only speak to you,
The singer wishes to communicate with the person they address with the same ease and candidness they once had.

Like I did it before,
The singer wants their speech to be reminiscent of the earlier, better days.

Why did it all have to change,
The singer laments the fact that things are different now and wishes to know what caused things to change.

I know nothing no more,
The artist is confused and ignorant about the current state of affairs.

(Living on hopes and dreams)...
The artist is holding onto something intangible and is not living in the present reality.

I get all my promises,
The singer has tried to keep their promises.

I kept you deep in my heart,
The individual they address is an important figure in the singer's life.

But now you won,
The person to whom the artist is addressing has triumphed over them.

You have won my feelings,
The person they address has also conquered the artist's emotions.

My hopes and dreams,
The artist's aspirations and desires are gone.

Left without a meaning,
The singer's ambitions and wishes no longer have any significance.

I am lost and blind,
The artist feels they are in a state of confusion and disorientation.

With no change of mind,
The singer is steadfast in their position.

What is there left to do...
The singer is at a loss regarding their present circumstances.

If I knew that you were mine,
The singer is uncertain whether the person they address reciprocates their emotions.

I'd keep a lock on my heart,
The artist would guard their emotions if they only knew if the person they address felt the same way.

I keep you warm with my delight,
The artist is joyful when they think or when they spend time with the person they address, and this brings them comfort.

I'd know, we'd never part...
The singer would be reassured knowing that their relationship would always stay the same and endure.

Hopes and dreams,
The singer is living in the future, hoping for positive outcomes.

(They died without your love),
The aspirations the artist had revolved around the person they address, and when this love was lost, their hopes and dreams died.

They let my heart on fire,
Their hopes and dreams once brought excitement and passion, but now they've doused their spirit.

Were built upon secrets,
Their aspirations and desires were kept confidential.

Now I'm waiting now,
The singer is in a state of inactivity, hoping for the best.

For your love...
The artist desires the affection of the person they address.

Are flowing with the wind,
The singer's hopes and desires have no direction and are aimlessly drifting.

Like a turbo going stronger,
The singer's desires are growing stronger with time.

Hopes and dreams,
The singer is still longing for a better future.

Were built upon secrets,
Their aspirations and desires were kept private and are not known by others.

Now I'm waiting now,
The artist is passive in their approach.

For your love...
The singer is still hopeful to receive love from the person they address.
