Wildest Dreams
Simply Three Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He said let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city
Away from the crowds
I thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins, my one condition is

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

I said "No one has to know what we do,"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lip and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend

Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams




Even if it's just in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dream

Overall Meaning

The song begins with the two lovers driving away from the city, trying to escape the crowds, and finding solace in being together. The singer knows that their affair is not going to last forever, but they can't resist each other's charm. She describes her lover as "so tall, and handsome as hell," and "so bad but he does it so well," meaning that he might not be the best for her, but he is irresistible. She knows that this relationship is going to end badly, but she doesn't care because she wants to live in the moment.


The chorus of the song is the singer's plea for the man to remember her, even after their affair is over. She wants him to remember her standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, with red lips and rosy cheeks. She wants to be a part of his wildest dreams, even if they can never be together again. The song ends with the singer reminiscing about their time together and hoping that he will never forget her.


There are a few possible interpretations of this song. Firstly, it could be about a woman who knows that she is in a relationship with a bad boy and that it will eventually end in heartbreak, but she can't stay away from him. Secondly, it could be about two people who know that they cannot be together for reasons beyond their control, but they have a deep connection that cannot be ignored. Finally, it could be about a woman who is in a secret affair with a married man, and she knows that she will never have a real future with him, but she wants him to remember her even after their affair is over.

Loved this song so much. The tone of the music goes well for the video! I'm starting to play the cello, so I wanted to hear covers of pop songs with the cello. Alyson Stoner brings me back to camp rock! <3
