Dreaming of You
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondered who you are
Wondered what you're like
Think you're just my type
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Bet you never knew it
Think you'd suit me fine
Want you all the time
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
You're the one I'm calling on
You're the one who's calling me to have it
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you
In the opening lines of "Dreaming of You," Cigarettes After Sex's lead vocalist muses on a distant figure he's observing from afar. He wonders about the subject's character and personality, and whether they would be a suitable partner for him. The chorus consists of the repetition of the phrase, "And now I'm dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you," emphasizing the intense longing and desire that the singer feels.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's emotions, revealing that he wants the object of his admiration, and that he believes they'd be perfect together. This verse also repeats the chorus, conveying the depth of the singer's obsession with the distant figure. In the final verse, the singer seems to be addressing the subject directly, calling out to the person he is dreaming of, to him or her that they are the one he is calling on or reaching out to, as if a cry for help, an act of vulnerability, and surrender, hoping and waiting for a response.

It was start of 8th grade,
I saw him next to my class.
Fell in love from first sight.
But It turns out,
he's just visiting his friend.
Did not see him for a long time. Left me wondering who he was.
Months past, the school end approaching, I saw him.
He's under the tree, looking so precious and innocent.
Wondering who he was.

in evenings you occupy my thoughts,
the moon radiates hues resembling your irises,
in mornings im aglow in warmth
like your heart, golden, like the sun
oh, darling, like a flame, you consume me
even in winter, where cold sweeps our skin
our fingers entertwine, defying fate

Lost a baby at 13 weeks, always dreaming of how she would've felt in my arms. This song soothes the pain and gives me a chance to feel her again. She is the one calling me to heaven. xx
*six years later* my baby boy was born and i have played this song for him everyday in my belly, now he is here and i feel so complete. thank you for the love, never expected this.. xx
@LatinNomadNyC
I am so sorry @pumpernickel. May you find peace and completeness.
@DangerfieldChris
She is the one calling you to live.
