Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
Will she come back, no one knows (back)
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around baby I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got the ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, I'm tied
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right (uh, uh, uh)
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
Will she come back, no one knows (back)
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
When I be ridin' man I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it burn
And I just hopes she know that she the only one I yearn for
My woman, oh I miss her, when will I learn
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong (uh, uh, uh)
And I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
Will she come back, no one knows (back)
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream (uh, uh, hey)
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 (everything)
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Uh, uh, uh
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
Will she come back, no one knows (back)
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
Uh, uh, uh
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me (uh, hey)
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be (us)
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream (hey)
So I traveled back, down that road (uh)
Will she come back, no one knows (back)
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
The lyrics to Nelly feat. T.I.'s song "Just A Dream" tell a story about a man who regrets losing the love of his life. He thinks about her constantly, wondering what could have been and hoping that one day she will return to him. He travels back down memory lane, remembering the good times and the love they shared. However, he realizes that it was just a dream and that she's gone, likely with someone else.
The lyrics convey a sense of regret and heartbreak that many people can relate to. The song captures the pain of losing someone you love, and the longing to have them back. Despite the upbeat melody, the lyrics are melancholy and reflect the feelings of the singer.
One of the most interesting aspects of this song is the music video, which was directed by Sanji. The video features Nelly and his love interest, played by actress and model Katrina Begin. The video was shot entirely in Los Angeles and tells the story of a young couple and their relationship. The video has been viewed over 450 million times on YouTube.

I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Reflecting on a past relationship and questioning what went wrong
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Imagining a future together and what could have been
Open my eyes yeah, it was only just a dream
Realizing that the relationship is over and it was just a dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Mentally revisiting past experiences and memories
Will she come back, no one knows
Uncertainty about whether or not the relationship can be salvaged
I realize yeah, it was only just a dream
Accepting that the relationship is truly over
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Encouraging others to show solidarity for a lost love
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Regretting not giving enough love and wanting to make amends
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
Realizing that love alone cannot fix all problems in a relationship
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Feeling remorseful and wishing to make up for past mistakes
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
Going from a high point in the relationship to a low point
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
Being replaced after losing the top spot in the relationship
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
Expressing the depth of affection and commitment towards the lost love
She left me, I'm tied
Feeling emotionally bound to the lost love even after the relationship is over
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Unable to escape thoughts of the lost love even in social situations
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Encouraging others to relate to the pain of lost love
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
Accepting that the lost love has moved on and cannot be regained
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Desperately wanting to make amends and show love to the lost love

Just a Dream

Lirik
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
Travel back, down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize
It was only just a dream
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in a basement
Number one spot, now you find you a replacement
I swear now that I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby
Now you ain't around, baby, I can't think
I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See your pretty face, run my fingers through your hair
My lover, my life
My baby, my wife
You left me, I'm tied
'Cause I know that it just ain't right
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize
It was only just a dream
Another riding, I swear see your face at every turn
I'm trying to get my Usher on, but I can't let it burn
And I just hope you know that you're the only one I yearn for
No wonder I'll be missing when I learn
Didn't give you all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club, thinking all about you baby
Hey, you were so easy to love
But wait I guess our love wasn't enough
Going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm wishing that you'd pick up the phone
But you made a decision that you wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So 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
Ooh, 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
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes (open my eyes)
It was only just a dream (it's just a dream)
So I travel back (I travel back)
Down that road (down that road)
