Reality
Sanderson Lyrics

Met you by surprise
Unexpectedly met someone

I didn't realize
Was not aware of the significant impact of meeting that person

That my life would change forever
Meeting that person led to a significant life change

Saw you standing there
Saw the person in question standing somewhere

I didn't know I care
Was not initially aware of having feelings for that person

There is something special in the air
There is an unexplainable special quality or atmosphere related to the situation

Dreams are my reality
The singer's dreams are their reality

The only kind of real fantasy
Their dreams are the only type of fantasy that they consider real

Illusions are a common thing
Misinterpretations or deceptions are frequently experienced by the singer

I try to live in dreams
The singer tries to live in their dream world

It seems as if it's meant to be
It feels like the dream world is their true destiny

A different kind of reality
The dream world is a unique reality compared to the more tangible one

I dream of loving in the night
One of the singer's dreams involves the experience of love during the night

And loving seems alright
The idea of love seems acceptable in the dream world

Althought it's only fantasy
The dream world is not the real world, so their dreams can only be a fantasy

If you do exist
The singer is unsure if the person they are imagining/loving in their dreams actually exists

Honey, don't resist
The singer implores the person in question not to resist or deny their existence

Show me a new way of loving
The singer is asking the other person to show them a new way of experiencing love

Tell me that it's true
The singer wants reassurance that the feelings/dreams they are experiencing are real

Show me what to do
The singer seeks guidance from the other person on how to deal/cope with their feelings

I feel something special about you
The singer feels a unique/spiritual connection with the person they are addressing

Maybe my foolishness is past
The singer acknowledges their previous foolishness/stupidity in relation to loving someone they weren't sure existed

And maybe now at last
The singer is hopeful that they have found the true love they have been dreaming about

I see how a real thing can be
The singer has realized that the dream world has real-life implications, and that what they have been dreaming about could potentially become a reality

A wonderous world where I like to be
The dream world is a place that the singer enjoys and finds wonderful

I dream of holding you all night
One of the singer's dreams involves physically holding the person they are addressing

And holding you seems right
In their dream world, holding the other person feels like the correct or appropriate thing to do

Perhaps that's my reality
The singer considers the dream world their true reality, which could include the love they have been dreaming about
