Dreamcatcher
James Hersey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She likes to listen and I love to sing
She likes to make me feel like I'm home
She likes the way, everywhere that I go
She keeps the time in a cage on a wrist
So I don't have to worry about a thing that I missed
We go way back sometimes I think I've seen a face in a dream as a kid
Yeah she's my dreamcatcher
She's every little thing I know I wanna live for
Yeah she's my dreamcatcher
Every thing I need and more
And she see treasure in all that I have been before
Well she likes to walk, I like to ride
She likes to drink and I love to get high
She likes to go out with all of my friends
When I'm on the road doing shows with the band
She's in my life for the rest of my days
She's like the best friend I just can't replace
Long as she's close I'm not afraid
To follow the dreams I had as a kid
Yeah she's my dreamcatcher
Everything I need and more
She's every little thing that I know I wanna live for
Yeah she's my dreamcatcher
Everything I need and more
And she sees treasure in all that I've been before
Turn me upside down
Flip me inside out, if I don't wake up
Maybe just turn me upside down
Flip me inside out, if I don't wake up
If I don't wake up maybe just
Turn me upside down (everything I need and more)
Flip me inside out
If I don't wake up maybe just
Turn me upside down (everything I need and more)
Flip me inside out
If I don't wake up maybe just
Upside down
Yeah inside out
If I don't wake up maybe just.
