Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who makes me dream all day
Dreams I know will never come true,
Seems as though I'll ever be blue.
Who means my happiness
Who would I answer yes to,
Well you oughta guess

@@I._R._ In a sense they are always right: no two eras are similar in all ways. But the implication that no era will ever be as great is not true.
