Sweet Dreams
Jamestown Story Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you, I need you, I love your personality
Your bright eyes, resupply, my head knowing you're just like me...
With everyday that passes by the more I come to realize you're everything I need
And everynight I lay in bed with all my thoughts still left unsaid, all night restless sleep, so sweet dreams...
You're in pain, he's to blame, I pull you up close to me
Your eyes tear, I'm right here, pain goes away girl it will be alright...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jamestown Story's "Sweet Dreams" is about the singer's feelings for a woman that he loves. He says that he wants her, needs her, and loves her personality. The bright eyes of the woman renew the singer's mind, as he recognizes that she is just like him. As time passes by, he realizes that she is everything he needs. Nevertheless, he cannot express his true feelings to her, so every night he goes to sleep thinking about her with unsaid thoughts, unable to find peace.

The woman seems to be going through some kind of pain because of someone else, and the singer is there to comfort her. He pulls her up close to him, and as she tears up, he assures her that everything will be okay. This is a sweet gesture that reminds her that he is there to love and comfort her even in her darkest moments.
