Wildest Dreams
Matthew Kurz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, never, hey
Never, oh, never hey
Never, oh, never hey
Never, oh, never hey

Out of an unknown place
Kinda like left field
You came in my life and help me heal
Just in the nick of time
When I lacked the will to keep on moving on
You've been in my dreams, before now
I couldn't figure out the reasons
I kept asking God why
And now I'm receiving abundance of love
And I get it,
But I never could imagine it

Chorus:
Never in my wildest dreams, no, no, no
Did I think someone could care about me, oh
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional (sometimes)
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams (never in my life)
Did I think someone could care about me
(It's so beautiful)
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional (sometimes)
Not in, not in, not in, my wildest dreams
Never, never, oh, never hey
Never, never, oh, never hey
Never, never, oh, never hey

It's hard to hold back tears,
Whenever you hold me close
I think about the years I spent saying this is all I want
Just wanted someone real to love me for me, me, me yeah

It seemed I had it all, that's what they thought
But I was peeling like paint on the wall
And I had to cover up the hurt (hurt, hurt)
Uh, I was told by many, that they loved me
But I wasn't love like this

Chorus:
Never in my wildest dreams,
(Never in my wildest dreams)
Did I think someone could care about me, oh
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional sometimes
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams, never did I think
Did I think someone could care about me
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional sometimes
Not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams

I'll give all I have, for exchange
To have someone who loves me for me
(Anything can be replaced)
Not love
There ain't no reWlacing, it either is or it ain't

Chorus:
Never in my wildest dreams,
Did I think someone could care about me, oh
Not just the way you love me
You know I'm emotional sometimes
Not in, not in, not in, not in my wildest dreams
Never in my wildest dreams,
Did I think someone could care about me
Not just the way you love me
(It's not just the way you love me)




You know I'm emotional sometimes
Not in, not in, not in, my wildest dreams
