Was I Dreaming
Sophie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Oh, oh
Open up, I'm gonna get inside
I'm gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry
This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
I give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good?
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you'll go away
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn, I wish I was your lover
(Yeah)
If I was your girl, believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
Let me in
I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in, oh
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
And I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I'll do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I wanna open up, I wanna come inside
I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Getting on a subway
And I'm coming uptown
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Standing on the street corner
Waiting for my luck to change
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Feeling like a schoolboy
Too shy and too young, oh
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Tryna open up, I wanna come inside
I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Getting on my camel
Gonna ride it uptown, ooh
Damn, I wish I was your lover

I fear that you will leave me and our relationship will end
'Cause then you'll go away
If you promise to stay and leave anyways, it will hurt me
Shucks, for me there is no other
There is no one else I want to be with besides you
You're the only shoe that fits
You are the perfect match for me
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
I don't think my feelings for you will change over time
If I was your girl, believe me
If I were your romantic partner, trust me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones

Enjoying music and dancing together would bring us joy
Let me in
Allow me to get closer to you
I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever
I want to be with you for a long time and never stop loving you
Give me an hour to kiss you
I desire to be physically close and intimate with you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
Being with you feels like paradise
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Being with me is enough to make you feel happy and healthy
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Reiterating that I want to be with you for a long time
I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I found inner calm and serenity while alone
And I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
I enjoyed the beauty of nature while feeling sexually fulfilled
Walked for days with no one near
I spent time alone, seeking solitude
And I return as chained and bound to you
Despite seeking freedom and isolation, I am still bound to you emotionally
Getting on a subway
I am traveling towards you in a public transit system
And I'm coming uptown
I am heading towards an area where you are located
Standing on the street corner
Waiting for you to arrive or pass by
Waiting for my luck to change
Hoping for a chance encounter or positive outcome
Feeling like a schoolboy
I feel young and inexperienced in love
Too shy and too young, oh
Lacking confidence and experience to pursue you
Tryna open up, I wanna come inside
Trying to be vulnerable with you and get closer
Getting on my camel
I am traveling towards you on a desert animal
Gonna ride it uptown, ooh
Going to use a unique mode of transportation to reach you
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Reiterating the desire to be in a romantic and intimate relationship with you
