Just A Dream
Gary Lewin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only the dream!!
I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I cant take it
knowing somebody's got my baby

And now you ain't around baby I can't think
I should put it down should I got the ring

'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
My lover my life my shawty my wife
She left me I'm tied
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right

I was thinking 'bout her thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' bout us what we gonna be
Open my eyes yeah
it was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back down that road
Wish she'd come back no one knows
I realized yeah
It was only Just A Dream

When I be riding man I swear I see her face at every turn
Trying to get my usher over I can't let it burn
And I just hopes she know that she the only one I earn for
more and more mister when I learn
Didn't give her all my love I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey she was so easy to love
But wait I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong

I was thinking bout her thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us what we gonna be
Open my eyes yeah
It was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back down that road
Wish she come back no one knows
I realized yeah
It was only Just A Dream

And now I'm missing her
missing her

I was thinking bout her thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us what we gonna be
Open my eyes yeah
It was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back down that road
Wish she come back no one knows
I realized yeah
it was only Just A Dream

I was thinking bout her thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us what we gonna be
Open my eyes yeah
It was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back down that road
Wish she come back no one knows
I realized yeah
It was only Just A Dream

I was thinking bout her thinkin' 'bout me
Thinkin' 'bout us what we gonna be
Open my eyes yeah
It was only Just A Dream
So I travelled back down that road
Wish she come back no one knows

I realized yeah
It was only Just A Dream

The lyrics illustrate that he had everything he could ask for, including being at the top of his game but lost it all in his relationship. And now that special woman is gone, he can't help thinking about how perfect everything was and how he should have done more to keep her.

The line "Number one spot and now she found her replacement" implies that his lover found someone else after leaving him, and it was hard for him to come to terms with it.

He desires her to come back, but deep down, he knows he has to let go since she has decided to move on. The line "And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think, should've put it down, should've got the ring" signifies that he never made a commitment to her, but now he wishes he had. The chorus "It was only just a dream" is a realization that everything he had with her was just a fantasy.

In conclusion, "Just a Dream" is a heart-wrenching tale of a man who has lost the love of his life and is haunted by regrets. Gary Lewin draws parallels between being at the top of his game and having everything in life to losing his love, illustrating the sense of loss and regret he feels.
