Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well be close together, wait and see
Oh by the way,
This time the dreams on me
You take my hand
And you look at me adoringly
But as things stand
It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry upon
To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but
This time the dreams on me
It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry upon
To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but
This time the dreams on me

Line by Line Meaning
Somewhere, someday
At some point in the future, we will be together in a specific location
Well be close together, wait and see
We will eventually be physically close to each other, but we don't know exactly when that will happen
Oh by the way,
Incidentally, I have something else to tell you
This time the dreams on me
I am in control of the dreams and desires we share together
You take my hand
You hold my hand and lead me in a particular direction
And you look at me adoringly
You gaze at me with love and admiration
But as things stand
As it currently stands, the situation is not ideal
It would be fun
It would bring joy or pleasure
To be certain that I'm the one
To know with confidence that I am the person you desire
To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry upon
To understand that I am the one you turn to for emotional support
To see you through
To help you during a difficult time and support you emotionally
Till you're everything you want to be
Until you achieve your personal goals and aspirations
It can't be true, but
Although unlikely, there is a small chance this could happen
This time the dreams on me
Again, I am in control of the shared dreams and desires
