Just a Dream
His Rockets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a dream, just a dream
All our plans and our all schemes
How could I think you'd be mine
The lies I'd tell myself each time

I know that we could never last
We just can't seem to in the past
Just a dream I dream in vain
With you I'd only live in pain

Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying
Please leave me alone

Why, why do I love you
How can I live in misery




I know that I won't forget you
But now I know it's too late for me

The lines "Just a dream, just a dream, all our plans and all our schemes, how could I think you'd be mine, the lies I'd tell myself each time" indicate that the singer acknowledges that their dreams of being with their love were unrealistic and they were in denial about it. The use of the phrases "just a dream" and "lies I'd tell myself" emphasize the fact that the love was never meant to be and the singer was fooling themselves into believing it could become a reality.
