In My Dreams
ruth b. Lyrics

The lights are bright tonight, the music loud
The bright lights and loud music create a chaotic environment

A perfect mess that's what surrounds me
The chaos surrounds the singer

Then I see you over there, I can't seem to break the stare
The singer is immediately drawn to the person they see

Maybe it's 'cause your shirt is my favorite color
The shirt color may be a reason why the artist is drawn to the person

Then you walk on over with a smoulder
The person the artist is drawn to walks over in a confident manner

And you hand me your number, I say, 'what is this?'
The person gives the singer their number and the singer is confused by this action

You say, 'love at first side, it exists'
The person claims that love at first sight exists

But I've had my heart broken so many times before
The artist has experienced heartbreak multiple times

Yeah, I've walked through so many empty doors
The artist has been disappointed by many relationships

But if I see you in my dreams tonight
The artist wonders if the person will appear in their dreams

Then maybe you were right
The person might have been right about love at first sight

Then I call you in the morning
If the person appears in the artist's dream, they will call them in the morning

And you take my hands and tell me 'I've been waiting for you'
In the dream, the person tells the singer they have been waiting for them

Then I'll tell you, 'me too'
The singer tells the person that they have been waiting for them too

I start to drive away and smile like I'm insane
The singer feels crazy for feeling this way after just meeting the person

How can I feel this way? I don't even know your name
The artist is amazed at the intensity of their feelings for someone they just met

The napkin doesn't say
The artist doesn't have any way of finding out the person's name

Then I remember that I vowed not let anyone enter my heart
The singer has made a promise not to let anyone hurt them again

I say 'what is this?'
The singer questions the validity of the feelings they have for the person

I know love at first side can't exist
The artist believes that love at first sight is not real

Maybe we'll meet in a different dimension
The artist imagines a different reality where they could be with this person

And you can tell me all the things you did and mention
The artist imagines having a conversation with the person about their lives

You'll say 'what is this?'
The person the singer is imagining says 'what is this?'

I'll say 'I guess love at first side exist'
The artist admits that love at first sight might exist in this alternate reality

Cause I saw you in my dreams that night
The person appeared in the singer's dream that night

And I knew that you were right
The singer believes that the person was right about love at first sight

So I called you in the morning
The singer calls the person in the morning

(In the morning, in the morning)
A repetition of the above line

Yeah I saw you in my dreams that night
The person appeared in the artist's dream again

And you took my hands and tell me 'I've been waiting for you'
In the dream, the person tells the singer they have been waiting for them again

And I told you, 'me too'
The singer tells the person they have been waiting for them too

If I see you in my dreams tonight
The artist wonders if the person will appear in their dreams again
