Only In My Dreams
COMO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember how it used to be
And I realized how much I miss you
And I realize how it feels to be free
Now I see I'm up to no good (no, no good)
And I wanna start again
No I can't remember when
No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
Couldn't see how much I missed you (now I do)
Couldn't see how much it meant (ahh)
Now I see my world come tumbling down
(Tumbling down my world)
Now I see the road is bent
If I only once could hold you (no, no, no)
And remember how it used to be (ahh)
If only I could scold you
And forget how it feels to be free
No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
No,
No, no, no, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
No,
No, no, no, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
No, no, no, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
