Dreamers
Alissa Beyer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moon light dancing across the bedroom floor
Picture perfect just like the night before
Here we are breathing the air again
Waiting on somebody to turn us in
Secret lovers, undercover
Chasing the wind

Running far away
Running from the day

'Cause we're only dreamers
Counting on love to survive
As long as you stay
We'll find out a way to get by
As dreamers who can't close our eyes, Our eyes

Sunlight shining alone the ocean shore
You stay close by because diamonds they can't ignore
Here we are breathing the air again
Waiting on somebody to turn us in

Secret lovers, undercover
Chasing the wind

Running far away
Running from the day

'Cause we're only dreamers
Counting on love to survive
As long as you stay
We'll find out a way to get by
As dreamers who can't close our eyes, Our eyes

So let it take us away

Put your hand in mine
Let the world start to fade
We'll give this a try
And as he gives me away
Look in these golden eyes

'Cause you're in love with a dreamer
Counting on love to survive

'Cause we're only dreamers
Counting on love to survive
As long as you stay




We'll find out a way to get by
As dreamers who can't close our eyes

Overall Meaning

Alissa Beyer's song "Dreamers" portrays the story of two lovers who are hiding their love and running from society, as they are "secret lovers, undercover". The song refers to them as "only dreamers" who are "counting on love to survive". They both feel alive in each other's presence and they're trying to live in the moment of love that they share, while it lasts. The lyrics describe how the lovers are waiting for something or someone to "turn them in" but they are still hopeful that they will find a way to make it through as long as they are together.


The verses describe the two scenarios where they are together, once in a bedroom filled with moonlight, and another time at a beach with sunlight shining upon them. The beach scene describes the girl wearing expensive diamonds, as she is trying to appear ordinary and not bring any attention to herself. The chorus highlights the theme of the song, which is about them being dreamers and counting on love to survive, as they run away from society.


The bridge talks about how they will let love take them away, disregarding the world around them, and trying to make their situation work. It ends with the girl looking into her lover's "golden eyes" and accepting the fact that she is in love with a dreamer.
