Owl City – Dreams Don't Turn to Dust Lyrics 11 years ago
I think he is singing about his dreaming, and doesn't want to leave it. He says he'll miss real life, but he would rather be dreaming alone then be in real life.
I believe he hints at it becoming reality with the first few verses (Splashdown in the silver screen, Into a deep dramatic scene, I swim through the theatre, Or maybe I'm just a dreamer) and says in the chorus "dreams don't turn to dust", meaning his dreams won't just be forgotten/be chased.
