The Dream
Television Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby I wanna go out with you tonight
Baby the night is young I wanna see the town
Running away from the shadows of our past
Is there a way we could make this night last all our lives
Cause I'm happy when you're around
I'm not waiting anymore
My legs are getting sore
From dancing all night long
So now i want you
Do you want me too
I remember you
I like the way you move
I remember you




It felt just like a dream
It felt just like a dream

Overall Meaning

"Baby I wanna go out with you tonight / Baby the night is young I wanna see the town" is a classic invitation to a night out, but it's also an expression of the singer's desire to escape from their past. The night and the city are symbols of possibility, of a new start, and the singer is eager to seize the moment.


"Running away from the shadows of our past / Is there a way we could make this night last all our lives" confirms that the singer is looking for a new beginning. The shadows of the past are a burden that the two characters want to leave behind, and they are hoping that this night will be a turning point. The second line is poignant because it highlights the ephemeral nature of happiness. In the moment, the night seems to promise a forever of joy and excitement, but the reality is inevitably more complex.


The chorus is the emotional center of the song: "I remember you / I like the way you move / I remember you / It felt just like a dream." Here, the singer is looking back to a past encounter with the person they are addressing in the song. The memory is hazy and dreamlike, but it's still vivid enough to evoke strong feelings. The focus on movement – "the way you move" – is interesting because it suggests that the singer is drawn to a sense of freedom and fluidity, perhaps as a reaction to the constraints of their past.
