when i sleep, i'm dreaming
when i sleep, i'm dreaming for you
feel my heart it's aching
wish i could stop breaking
spend all day just thinking for you
when you sleep, i'm thinking
when you sleep, i'm thinking for her
wish i still could love you
floating high above you
just don't think i'm sinking for you
this pillow talk
don't wake me up
my dream is done
i'm still in love
i know your fears
just lying here
i think i'll leave
please don't my dear
this pillow talk will wake me up
no matter what i'm dreaming
when you leave, i'm lying
when you leave, i'm lying
when you leave, i'm lying for you
and i know it hurts you
nothing else i can do
you won't let me, though i want to
when you leave, i'm lonely
when you leave, i'm lonely
when you leave, i'm lonely for you
roll around in our bed
can't stop thoughts in my head
the screaming girl just gets up for you
this pillow talk
don't wake me up
my dream is done
i'm still in love
i know your fears
just lying here
i think i'll leave
please don't my dear
this pillow talk will wake me up
no matter what i'm dreaming
pack my things, i'm leaving
wish i could stop breathing
know you'll be coming back for me
if we fight and make up
if we fight and make up
if we fight, we wake up lonely
this pillow talk
don't wake me up
my dream is done
i'm still in love
i know your fears
just lying here
i think i'll leave
please don't my dear
this pillow talk will wake me up
no matter what i'm dreaming
The lyrics of Wild Child's song Pillow Talk share the story of an intense relationship that is built on longing and unfulfilled dreams. The first stanza talks about how the singer dreams of the person they love, wishing they could stop breaking and thinking of them all the time. The second stanza reveals that the person they love is thinking of someone else when they sleep, and the singer is powerless to stop thinking of them. The third stanza talks about the pain that the singer feels when the person they love is gone, and how they lie there, thinking of them in bed. The chorus of the song repeats, emphasizing that the pillow talk is their only connection, and that it's the only thing that keeps them together in their dreams.
The song's second half is when the singer decides to leave, knowing that the relationship is causing them pain they can no longer bear. They're taking the step to move on, even though they might still love the person they're leaving behind. The lyrics convey that their love for the other person has caused them to break, to feel lonely and powerless. However, the chorus repeats that their dreams will always involve the person they love, and the pillow talk will continue to remind them of them.
Overall, Pillow Talk is a bittersweet ballad that speaks of a relationship marked by longing and heartache. The song emphasizes the power of dreams and how they can keep people connected even when they are physically apart.

A girl I'm dating brought me here. And everything about her is just great. She's funny, cute, cool, beautiful etc etc. I laugh with her a lot and love to see her smile. And if things keep progressing the way they are then I'm gonna fall for this girl. And if I fall for her I don't know how things are going to turn out, coz the future looks uncertain and it scares me.
Edit: Totally forgot about this comment until a notification popped up.
It has been going great with her. We will soon complete 2 years. I think I have found the one. Thanks a lot for your lovely comments guys.
Edit 2(31/1/2022): It's going pretty good(and are both alive). Had to do a long-distance relationship for a while but now we are together. We are now engaged and should be tying the knot soon, that is if covid allows.
@Dewyy12
How has it been going?
It's been a year now
@shawnportz1926

Hey, hope you are doing great! Yes, life is uncertain. That's what makes it more interesting.

Wishes for both of you. It's rare and please work it out in difficult times. ♥
