The first song was "Different Worlds" by Jes Hudak and the second was an original song titled "Don't Let Me Go". He lives with his mother Alana Dow and grandparents Hannah and Roger Dow. Waetford's father, who now lives in Switzerland, left him and his mother when he was young. However, they still keep in contact. Waetford has been compared by many to Justin Bieber. He plays guitar and writes his own songs. Waetford taught himself how to play guitar from watching videos on YouTube. He cites Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Elvis Presley, Guy Sebastian and Stevie Wonder as his musical influences. Prior to entering The X Factor, Waetford was a student at Campbelltown High School of the Performing Arts.

Living Not Dreaming
Jai Waetford Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somethings just never change, but
We just can't stay the same
I'm running in circles watching you call someone else's name
I know it's not my place, but
My mind will never change 'cause
No matter what I do I can't help running back to you
I can't outrun the thought of us of us
Oh 'cause when I turn around you're catching up

I can't help think 'bout love 'bout love
'Bout love 'bout love oh

Maybe we don't care enough tonight
Take your fears and throw 'em to the sky
Whatever's wrong we'll make it feel right
We're living not dreaming
What's the possibility of me
Making up for time I spent with you
Tell me what you want me to do

We're living not dreaming
We're living not dreaming
We're living not
We're living not
We're living not dreaming
We're living not
We're living not
We're living not
We're living not dreaming

So what's the point in saying
So much we're never taking
A chance on new romance
'Cause it's a movie scared to make it
So I'm not meant to be
A sensitive guy who needs you
So stop pretending
I could be the kind to up and leave you

Maybe we don't care enough tonight
Take your fears and throw 'em to the sky
Whatever's wrong we'll make it feel right
We're living not dreaming
What's the possibility of me
Making up for time I spent with you
Tell me what you want me to do

We're living not dreaming
We're living not dreaming
We're living not
We're living not
We're living not dreaming
We're living not
We're living not
We're living not
We're living not dreaming

We're too young to follow what they told
I can't outrun the thought of us of us
Oh 'cause when I turn around you're catching up
I I can't help but think about think about love

Maybe we don't care enough tonight
Take your fears and throw 'em to the sky
Whatever's wrong we'll make it feel right
We're living not dreaming
What's the possibility of me
Making up for time I spent with you
Tell me what you want me to do

We're living not dreaming
We're living not dreaming

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jai Waetford's song "Living Not Dreaming" speak to the complexities of a relationship that is constantly shifting but ultimately too magnetic to resist. The opening lines, "Somethings just never change, but we just can't stay the same" set the tone for the rest of the song, as Waetford grapples with the tug-of-war between wanting to move on and being drawn back to his love interest. Despite the fact that she's with someone else ("I'm running in circles watching you call someone else's name"), he can't help but think about her and be attracted to her ("'bout love, 'bout love oh").

The chorus is an anthem for young love and the ability to make it work despite obstacles: "Whatever's wrong we'll make it feel right / We're living not dreaming." The song's bridge takes a more introspective turn, as Waetford questions why he's hesitant to pursue this person and why he can't seem to let go. He recognizes that he's still young ("We're too young to follow what they told") but ultimately decides to take a chance on love, as the final chorus repeats the song's central message: "We're living not dreaming."

Overall, "Living Not Dreaming" is a relatable exploration of the challenges and triumphs of young love. Waetford's lyrics capture the swirl of emotions that can come with navigating a relationship, from hope and happiness to confusion and heartbreak. The song is a reminder to live in the moment and seize opportunities for love, even when they might seem daunting or uncertain.

( only the Waetforders and Jai will get this )

Jai this song is THE SWEETEST THING, i wish i was THAT GIRL and i could GET TO KNOW YOU.
I know IM NOT THE ONLY ONE that is going to have this song stuck in my head TOMORROW.

Your music is THE ONLY EXCEPTION that makes me want to make PLANS and go LIVING NOT DREAMING, even if its having a WHITE CHRISTMAS or even going to the moon, you will be the one that is saying YOUR THE LEAD, go live life to the fullest.

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN like you, you don't realise how lucky you are to have such a massive gift and a loving heart.

When I'm THINKING OUT LOUD about you and YOUR EYES it makes me feel warm and cozy inside. Even though i get SHY when i see you, PLEASE DONT LET ME GO i love you so much you know.

Don't let anyone change who you are or try to FIX YOU.

i love you so much jai :)
love Taylor

This guy is just INCREDIBLE. To think how he got on so well & started off being a singer/songwriter amazes me. He was just so young. Look at him now, & still songwriting!! FANTASTIC!!! Well done Jai. xxx

I've watched his xfactor audition so many times, I'm so glad he is still doing what he loves professionally. So many fall off the planet after their 15 minutes.

Holy shit I remember when this song came out, I was in fourth grade back then and I idolized the hell out of him. I had this really big crush on a girl back then and I thought that she would fall for me if I dressed like him and was able to sing like him. So I got the same haircut as him and wore similar clothing, but I never actually committed to the singing part. So I finally decided to ask her out and I got rejected immediately then I tried one last time the following year and still got rejected. Those were the good old days. 😂
