Daydream
Matthew Thiessen and The Earthquakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The temperature drops the heat
It's time to find those winter clothes
Smoking pot of coffee waiting on the stove
Before you know I'm jay walking
Whistling across the street
Trying to teach my shadow how to box a beat

You were in my daydream
My daydream I was wishing it come true
Whatever I imagine is gonna happen
So I'm dreaming 'bout you
I'm dreaming 'bout you

Fighting the freeze zero degrees out in the desert night
I see Saturn's icy rings and I think I can't believe my eyes
It's you and me and we're hand holding singin' on down the street
Making up a song we simply stroll along, our footsteps keep the beat

You were in my daydream
My daydream I was wishing it come true
Whatever I imagine is gonna happen
So I'm dreaming 'bout you
I'm dreaming 'bout you
You were in my daydream, my daydream
You were in my daydream, my daydream




You were in my daydream, my daydream
You were in my daydream, my daydream
