My Dream
The Beat feat. Ranking Roger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Truth dare double dare
I start crying
In my dreams
Can't sleep at night
No point in living
No place to run, no place to hide
I want love to stay with me
Close by your side
Living in my dreams
I want love to stay with me
Right by your side
Living in my dreams
I'm asking the questions
That play on my mind
I'm killing time
Memories to find
Thinking 'bout the friends
I've left behind
I'd make the wrong move
Again and again
I sing the same blues
Again and again
I keep searching
In my dreams
These tears won't dry
No point in lying
You know our love will never die
No place to run
No place to hide




No place to roam
With you on my mind
