Daydream

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daydream -
if I could fly just like a bird
I'd get away from here and
go see you right now
(right now !)

What are you doing now?
I'm taking a class...
I'm just looking at the sky
sitting by the window
This is no time for
writing a book report
What I should write
about is my future
or love letters for you
The long distance train
to the place where you are
I can't see you unless
I get on it, I know...
I want to see you right now
(want to see you right now)
I want to talk with you
(want to talk with you)
I can't get settled down
Since you've gone too far
Daydream -
if I could fly just like a bird
I'd get away from here and
go see you right now
Daydream -
if you were always close to me
This boring time would
just get blown away

The long distance train
to the place where you are
I can't see you unless
I get on it, I know...
I want to see you right now
(want to see you right now)
I don't need anything but you
(anything but you)
If you forget about me,
what will I do...
Daydream -
if tomorrow was my last day
I'd go see you right now
without a waver
Daydream -
if you were always close to me
This boring time would
just get blown away
No time until dusk
I'm going to cut class
Still 3 hours left to go
I want to see you right now
(want to see you right now)
I pray to the sky...




Just then, what hits my face is
Chalk the teacher threw

Overall Meaning

The repetition of wanting to see and talk with the person right now underscores the urgency and intensity of their feelings.


The second verse continues the longing for proximity, stating that if the person were always close by, it would alleviate the boredom and mundane nature of their current existence. The lyrics suggest that the singer doesn't need anything besides the other person, and the fear of being forgotten by them adds to their desperation.


The final verse adds a sense of rebellion as the singer considers cutting class to be with the person. The mention of being hit by chalk thrown by the teacher demonstrates the consequences they are willing to face just to escape the constraints of their current situation and be reunited with their love interest.


Overall, "Daydream" conveys the overwhelming desire to be with someone who is physically distant, highlighting the yearning and restlessness that comes with such a separation.
