Thinkin bout us, whats it gonna be
Open up my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream
So i travel back, down this road
Hope she come back, no one knows
I realise, that it was only just a dream
I was at the top and it was lookin' at the basement
I swear now i cant take it, knowing somebodys got my baby
And now you ain't around baby i can't think
Should put it down, should got that ring
Cos i can feel it in the air
Saw her pretty face from my fingers to her hair
My love
My life
My shawty
My wife
Gf
I'm tired
Cos i know it just ain't right
I was thinkin bout her, thinkin bout me
Thinkin bout us, whats it gonna be
Open up my eyes yeah, it only just a dream
So i travel back, down this road
Hope she come back, no one knows
I realise, that it was only just a dream
If you ever love somebody put your hands up
You all love somebody put your hands up
Now there gone you wish you could give them everything
I said
If you ever love somebody put your hands up
If you ever love somebody put your hands up
Now there gone you wish you could give them everything
I was thinkin bout her, thinkin bout me
Thinkin bout us, whats it gonna be
Open up my eyes, it only just a dream
I was thinkin bout her, thinkin bout me
Thinkin bout us, whats it gonna be
Open up my eyes, it only just a dream
So i travel back, down this road
Hope she come back, no one knows
It was only just a dream
I realise, just a dream
Just a dream x 8
The lyrics of “Just a Dream” by Jason Ray tell the story of a man who had it all - the love of his life, a successful career, and a bright future. However, he wakes up to find out that it was only a dream. The song opens with the singer reminiscing about his relationship with his love where he contemplates the future of their relationship. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that his love has left him, and he is struggling to come to terms with it. In a poignant moment, the singer acknowledges the love he had with his partner, now lost, stating "my shawty, my wife, my life."
The second part of the song builds on the first, as the singer contemplates the depth of his loss. He yearns to turn back time and tries to find a way to win her back. The chorus features a powerful message about the importance of confessing our love to those we hold dear while they're still with us, and not taking them for granted. Ultimately, he realizes that he will never get her back and must face the reality that his love story was "just a dream."
