Crazy Dreams
SMASH Cast and Megan Hilty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You dark horse runners
Hairbrush singers, dashboard drummers
Hello you wild magnolias
Just waiting to bloom
There's a little bit of all that inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
I stood at the bottom of some walls I thought I couldn't climb
I felt like Cinderella at the ball just running out of time
So I know how it feels to be afraid
Think that it's all gonna slip away
Hold on, hold on
Here's to you free souls, you firefly chasers
Tree climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players
Here's to you fearless dancers, shaking walls in your bedrooms
There's a lot of wonder left inside of me and you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Never let a bad day be enough
To go and talk you in to giving up
'Cause sometimes everybody feels like you
Oh, feels like you, just like you
Thank God even crazy dreams come true
Thank God even crazy dreams come true

This is utter, eye-watering, down-on-your-knees, perfection. The treatment of the song lifts it way above the original by its writer, Carrie Underwood - didn't she know it's supposed to sound like this? The deceptively simple arrangement is an object lesson in "less is more", the control and delivery in the performance is 10 on a scale of merely awesome is 1. I fill up every time I hear this.
