Daydream
The Catalina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take in a deep breath
I'm caught in a cold sweat
Girl, I won't forget
What you look like tonight
I'll never get sick of the cloud nine
Of hearing you laugh like
We were just eighteen
And caught up in the ride
Just close your eyes
You know you can leave if you want to
So take your time
Daydreaming through the night
How did you and I turn it into
A paradise
I can't explain why
You're running through my mind
Is this make believe
Or heartbreak in disguise
I just wanna stare at the sunrise
And kiss in the moonlight
Girl let's make a scene
And drive all through the night
Your head on my shoulders
Just come a bit closer
This moment could never end
Our lips taking over
I'm losing composure
We're falling in again
Just close your eyes
You know you can leave if you want to
So take your time
Daydreaming through the night
How did you and I turn it into
A paradise
Just close your eyes
You know you can leave if you want to
So take your time
Daydreaming through the night
How did you and I turn it into
A paradise
You're running through my mind
Heartbreak in disguise
Your head on my shoulders
Just come a bit closer
This moment could never end
Our lips taking over
I'm losing composure
We're falling in again
Just close your eyes
You know you can leave if you want to
So take your time
Daydreaming through the night
How did you and I turn it into
A paradise
Just close your eyes
You know you can leave if you want to
So take your time
Daydreaming through the night




How did you and I turn it into
A paradise

Overall Meaning

The Catalina's song "Daydream" is a dreamy and nostalgic portrayal of a past love that still lingers in the singer's memory. The lyrics capture the essence of a perfect night spent with a lover, and the desire to hold onto that moment forever. The song starts with the singer recalling the physical sensations of being close to their lover, even during moments of anxiety ("caught in a cold sweat"). However, the vivid memories of their partner and their laughter bring them back to a happier time where they were both young and carefree. The chorus speaks to the intoxication of being in love and the desire to stay in that state forever; the singer urges their lover to just close their eyes and stay in that moment with them.


The second verse shows the singer's vulnerability, admitting that they don't quite understand the intensity of their feelings toward their lover. They are unsure if it's pure love or just the pain of a heartbreak that's disguised itself. Despite this doubt, the singer wants to prolong the perfect moment they're experiencing, and they tell their lover to get closer to them, wanting to share the experience with them. The bridge repeats the chorus, emphasizing the need to hold onto the perfect moment they're in.


In summary, "Daydream" is a song that captures the bittersweet nostalgia of a perfect night spent with a loved one, where everything felt right, and the world seemed to stop. The singer is haunted by the memory and wants to hold onto it forever, inviting their lover to stay in that perfect moment with them.
