Just A Dream
Jason Chen ft. Joseph Vincent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was thinkin about you, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes; it was only just a dream.
(Christina Grimmie)
I travel back, down that road.
Will you come back? No one knows.
I realize, it was only just a dream.
Verse 1

Let me tell you about a girl who changed my world
I don't know just how she's doin' that
She's on my mind, she's takin' my time
I'm loosin' my way but now she's bringin' me back

She's my Ipod, I got her on REPLAY
I LOVE THE WAY SHE LIES and she's making me wanna say
The DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE
We like DYNAMITE, and I just can't get enough

Pre Chorus
What goes up must come down
Now baby your not around
I'm layin' all alone in the middle of the night

I was thinkin about you, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes; it was only just a dream.
(Christina Grimmie)
I travel back, down that road.
Will you come back? No one knows.
I realize, it was only just a dream.

Verse 2
Let me tell you 'bout a girl who changed my life
She's a triple threat and she's just my type
Voice of a goddess,
Can dance to this flow,
She be turnin' heads everywhere that she goes

She's my Ipod, I got her on REPLAY
I LOVE THE WAY SHE LIES and she's making me wanna say
The DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE
We like DYNAMITE, and I just can't get enough

Pre Chorus
What goes up must come down
Now baby your not around
I'm layin' all alone in the middle of the night

I was thinkin about you, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes; it was only just a dream.
(Christina Grimmie)
I travel back, down that road.
Will you come back? No one knows.
I realize, it was only just a dream.

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything.
Ohhh, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
(if you ever loved somebody put your hands up.)
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
(if you ever loved somebody put your hands up.)
And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything.

I was thinkin about you, thinkin about me.
Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Open my eyes; it was only just a dream.
(Christina Grimmie)
I travel back, down that road.




Will you come back? No one knows.
I realize, it was only just a dream.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Just A Dream by Jason Chen ft. Joseph Vincent depicts a person who is lost in their thoughts about a crush or an ex-lover. Presumably, the singer of the song is visualizing a past memory that was exceptionally sweet, something that could not have happened in reality as he was hurt due to the same. The dream sequence breaks off and thereby brings him to the reality that it was only his imagination playing with his emotions. He prompts a sense of realization that things might not ever be the same as before, and the best he can do is to cherish these thoughts rather than fold them someday to leave a dead-end.


The song talks about love, longing, and desires that bring back the memories of the past. It shows how a person clings onto the past and struggles to move on from a lost love. The lyrics are filled with symbolism such as the iPod on replay, representing the idea of not being able to get over something, and the reference of only a dream suggests that the experiences are fleeting and one should not spend their entire life dwelling in the past.
