Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look familiar
Reminds me of somethin' good
I once felt
Thinking something mellow
I dreamed of someone like you
Thinking something mellow
Good times, good conversation
I look at myself
Maintained by the completion
Hm?of being stoned
I wanna thank you for being what I needed
I dreamed of someone like you
Thank you for being what I needed
I dreamed of someone like you
I dreamed of someone like you (repeat to end)
