The melody resembles My World Is Empty Without You from The Supremes.
It is noted for its use in the Scrubs season 2 episode "My Monster". A live version was also included on the Radio 1's Live Lounge album.
Dreaming of You
The Coral Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet (under my feet)
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreamin' of you
Oh, what can I do?
I still need you, but
I don't want you now
When I'm down and my hands are tied (hands are tied)
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line (draw the line)
From this pain, I just can't disguise (can't disguise)
It's gonna hurt, but I'll have to say goodbye (say goodbye)
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreamin' of you
Oh, what can I do?
I still need you, but
I don't want you now
Oh yeah
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreamin' of you
Oh, what can I do?
I still need you, but
I don't want you now
The lyrics of The Coral's song Dreaming of You appears to be about a person who is struggling with their feelings towards someone they once wanted. The first verse mentions the physical effects of being near this person, with their heart skipping a beat and being unable to feel the ground beneath their feet. The second verse delves into the emotional turmoil they are experiencing, being unable to draw a line and escape the pain they are feeling. They ultimately come to the conclusion that while they still need this person, they no longer want them.
The chorus repeats the phrase "up in my lonely room" twice, suggesting that this person is alone with their thoughts and feelings. The repetition of "wa-ooh" emphasizes the dream-like quality of this person's longing for someone they can't have. The use of the word "dreaming" also highlights the fact that these feelings might not be rooted in reality.
Overall, Dreaming of You is a heartfelt song about longing, heartbreak, and accepting one's emotions, even if they're painful.

Lyric:
Whats up with my heart when it skips a beat?
Can't feel no pavement right under my feet
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I don't want you now
When I'm down and my hands are tied
I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line
From this pain I just can't disguise
Its gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I dont want you now
Oh yeah
Up in my lonely room
When I'm dreaming of you
Oh what can I do
I still need you, but
I dont want you now
