Daydream
Emma Spartz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want you to stop them
Let's go back to last autumn
How much have you changed?
See your face in the mirror
Wish your image was clearer
Now I'm staring at the ceiling
They say it's a part of healing
But I'm forgetting how to breathe
So escape into the daydream
Where you don't feel cold and lonely
You are one step closer to your destiny
So escape into the daydream
Where you don't feel cold and lonely
You are one step closer to your destiny
So I escape into this daydream
Where nobody can find me
I'm twirling in the moonbeam
The clouds are beneath me
Feel it all come together
It'll all get better
A potion to sever the ties of ego and pride
A notion to feel out the tides, be free in my mind
Free in the times, to feel so sublime
I feel so sublime, in an instant I'm fine
Dive into it, I intuit
A place so divine
Subconscious paradise
(I just wanna) I just wanna stay inside my daydream
(I just wanna) I just wanna stay inside my daydream
(I just wanna) I just wanna stay inside my daydream
Wanna feel the rush of the twilight, baby
Wanna feel the touch of the song that saves me
I just wanna stay inside my daydream, wanna feel the rush of the twilight, baby
Wanna feel the touch of the song that saves me
It'll all get better
So I escape into this daydream
Where nobody can find me
I'm twirling in the moonbeam
The clouds are beneath me
Feel it all come together
It'll all get better
It'll all get better
