Daydream
Avril Lavigne Lyrics

Lalala-a (lalala-a)
Avril Lavigne is expressing a playful tone with the repeated sounds of 'lalala-a'.

Yea
This serves as a simple agreement to whatever has been said or done prior to the start of the song.

I coulda been the one you noticed
Avril feels unnoticed, and wonders if things could have been different if the person noticed her earlier.

I coulda been all over you
She contemplates what could have happened if she were more forward, maybe the person would have taken notice.

I coulda been like all the others
Avril acknowledges the possibility of conforming and changing herself to fit in with everyone else who is interested in the person.

Is that what I'm supposed to do?
She questions herself whether or not she should change herself to fit the person's likes or preferences.

It woulda been really stupid,
Avril recognizes that succumbing to someone else's desires could have been foolish.

If I woulda went home with you
The thought of acting on impulse could have led to regrettable decisions.

To give you everything you wanted
She acknowledges the risk of giving too much too soon to the person.

It woulda been way too soon
The idea of taking the relationship too fast deters her from taking any further action with the person.

I try to be sensative
Avril expresses her efforts to consider and understand other people's feelings.

I try to be tough
Avril also wants to show strength despite her vulnerability.

I try to walk away...
She resorts to leaving or distancing herself from situations that she does not want to be in.

I try to be innocent
Avril wants to come across as pure and genuine.

I try to be rough
At the same time, she also wants to come across as cool and daring.

But I just wanna play
Ultimately, Avril wants to explore and enjoy herself without the pressures or expectations of a serious relationship.

You're my daydream, you know that I've been thinking about you... lately
The person has been on Avril's mind frequently, and her daydreams revolve around them.

And everytime I look at you
Their presence affects her deeply, to the point where a mere glance can have an impact.

I can't explain I feel insane, I can't get away
Avril is overwhelmed by her emotions and can't shake off her thoughts and feelings about the person.

And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, You're making me insane
She acknowledges that the person's existence is the catalyst to her emotional outburst.

You're doing it again
She recognizes that the person has sparked that insanity in her before.

If I tell you what I'm thinking,
Avril is hesitant to share her thoughts and feelings to the person for fear of rejection or disappointment.

If I let myself trust you
To open up to someone requires a certain amount of trust that Avril is yet to establish with the person.

Can you give me what I'm missing
Avril desires something that she is currently lacking, and wonders if the person can fulfill that need.

Can you make my dreams come true
The person has the ability to make Avril's hopes and aspirations possible.

You're my daydream, you know that I've been thinking about you... lately
Reiterating how much the person occupies her thoughts and imagination.

You're my daydream, yeah
The person is significant enough to warrant constant thought and consideration.

And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, You're making me insane
The song ends with the same powerful message that the person's presence is still driving her crazy.

And you know, and you know, and you know, You're doin' it again
The person still has the ability to make Avril feel some type of way, influencing her thoughts and actions.
