(originally by Nelly, with Christina Grimmie)
I was thinkin about you
Thinkin bout me
Thinkin about us
What we gunna be
Open my eyes...
So I travel back down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream
I was at the top
Now its like I'm in the basement
Number 1 spot
Now you finding a replacement
I swear now that I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby
Now you ain't around, baby I cant think
I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring
Cuz I can still feel it in the air
See your pretty face
Run my finger through your hair
My lover
My life
My baby
My wife
You left me, I'm tight
Cuz I know that it just aint right
I was thinkin about you
Thinkin about me
Thinkin about us
Where we gunna be
Open my eyes...
It was only just a dream
So I travel back down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream
And I be ridin'
And I swear I see your face at every turn
I try to get my usher on but I can't let it burn
And I just hope you know that you're the only one I yearn for
No longer I be missin will I learn
Didn't give you all my love
I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about you baby
Hey
You was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm goin through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm wishing that you'd pick up the phone
But you made a decision that you wanted to move on
Cuz I was wrong
I was thinkin about you
Thinkin about me
Thinkin about us
Where we gunna be
Open my eyes...
It was only just a dream
So I travel back down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up And now they're gone and you're wishin could give them everything
Oh, If you ever loved somebody put your hands up ]x2]
And now they're gone and you're wishin you could give them everything...
I was thinkin about you
Thinkin about me
Thinkin about us
Where we gunna be
Open my eyes... (Open my eyes)
It was only just a dream (Its just a dream)
So I travel back down that road (Travel back, Travel back)
When you come back? (Down the road, Down the road)
No one knows (No one knows)
I realize, it was only just a dream (No, no, no, no)
I was thinkin about you (Woooo)
Thinkin about me
Thinkin about us (Whooooo)
Where we gunna be (Yeah)
Open my eyes... (Open my eyes, Open my eyes...)
It was only just a dream (It's just a dream)
So I travel back down that road (Whoo)
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize, (Realise)
It was only just a dream
Baby it was only just, only just a dream
Nooooo, oh
It was only just a dream
The song "Just a Dream" by Darrell Labrado is a cover of Nelly's song of the same name with Christina Grimmie. The lyrics are about a man who is reminiscing about his past love and the life they planned to have together that has now dissolved into a dream. He talks about being at the top and losing it all when his love left him. He regrets not giving her all of his love and feels the pain of being alone. As he travels down memory lane, he realizes it was all just a dream and that he can't go back.
The lyrics are a reflection of lost love and the pain that comes with it. The man in the song is filled with regret and wishes that he could turn back time to make things right. The song's melancholy tone reflects the deep sadness and helplessness that often accompanies the end of a relationship.
The lyrics of the song performed by Christina Grimmie and Darrell Labrado carry a lot of emotional weight, and are reflective of the themes that Nelly's original song also delves on. The song is all about the pain and heartache that comes with losing the person you love, reminiscing about the memories you shared together and then realizing that it was all just a dream – a fantasy that you conjured up in your head.

Expression of sadness/regret
You was so easy to love
Loving you was effortless
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
Our love wasn't strong enough
I'm goin through it every time that I'm alone
I struggle with thoughts of you when I'm by myself
And now I'm wishing that you'd pick up the phone
I want to talk to you, but you're not answering my calls
But you made a decision that you wanted to move on
You decided to move on without me
Cuz I was wrong
Because I made a mistake
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you've ever loved someone, raise your hand
And now they're gone and you're wishin could give them everything
You regret not giving your all when you had the chance
