Best Dreams
Michael Rossback Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world won't stop for you and give you your space
It just rolls away
To leave you with yesterday

Girls are hot for you
But you know they're fake
Cause you're just a name
You give them your heart and they...

And time will find a way to show you who you are
And you'll come around
And sing your heart sing
Dream your best dreams
And give love away
Live your tomorrow, today

The crowd won't applaud you
Make hearts for you
And tell you you're great
And spread all your fame
Cause you're just a name

The top will never do
It's sad but true
At the end of the day
They never stay

Time finds a way to show you who you are
And you'll come around
And sing your heart sing
Dream your best dreams
And give love away
Live your tomorrow, today

Count the stars and breathe some air
Kiss some lips then leave her there
When you love someone more than anyone

You leave your best dreams
And find your heart sings




And give love away
And your live your tomorrow, today

Overall Meaning

The song "Best Dreams" by Michael Rossback is a portrayal of the harsh reality of life, contrasting it with the ideal life that most people dream of. It conveys the message that life is not a bed of roses, and one has to face many hardships and struggles to achieve their goals. The song's opening lines, "The world won't stop for you and give you your space, It just rolls away, To leave you with yesterday," express this theme beautifully. Life moves on, and it is up to us to keep up with it, leaving our past behind and moving forward.


The second verse talks about fame and how it is a fleeting feeling. The lines "The crowd won't applaud you, Make hearts for you, And tell you you're great, And spread all your fame, Cause you're just a name," highlight the fact that fame is temporary and does not last forever. The chorus emphasizes the importance of dreaming big and following one's heart. The lines "And time will find a way to show you who you are, And you'll come around, And sing your heart sing, Dream your best dreams, And give love away, Live your tomorrow, today," inspire listeners to live their lives the way they want to and not to waste their time pleasing others.


The final verse of the song is a reminder that life is short, and we should cherish every moment. We should not hold back our feelings and should express our love to those we care about. The lines "Count the stars and breathe some air, Kiss some lips then leave her there, When you love someone more than anyone, You leave your best dreams, And find your heart sings, And give love away, And your live your tomorrow, today," urge us to make the most of every day and live life to the fullest.
