Amanda's Dream Lyrics
That's some sad soul to keep
Amanda awakes in a moment believing
She's better off staying asleep
So she drives by the station
Imagining somewhere
Sings a slow, slow song
With nowhere to go
In our town there's just one stoplight
I wish she would know
There's a world outside her window
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere's Amanda's Dream
With wishes that never come true
Her hopes get so high they're too hard to handle
She stares as they fade out of view
All of these somewheres have lead her to nowhere
Except a slow, slow song
With nowhere to go
In our town there's just one stoplight
I wish she would know
There's a world outside her window
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere's Amanda's Dream
She sleeps like a girl and she wakes like a woman
With nowhere to go
In our town there's just one stoplight
I wish she would know
There's a world outside her window
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere's Amanda's Dream
NO comments? love this song...
so sad
She sits late at night by the light of a candle With wishes that never come true Her hopes get so high they’re too hard to handle She stares as they fade out of view
This song is about disappointment I think. Its about having so many grandoise dreams for yourself and ending up working at McDonalds for minimum wage for the rest of your life. And you watch your dreams fade away right in front of your eyes.
So she drives by the station Imagining somewhere Sings a slow, slow song Now she’s waiting at the stoplights With nowhere to go In our town there’s just one stoplight
This is about wanting to be anywhere but in this dead end town that you live in. Maybe its some rural town that is barely on the map, hence the one stoplight. And this peson may know in their heart of hearts they are going to live and die here.
Amanda awakes in a moment believing She’s better off staying asleep
This I think is saying that she would rather be asleep and dreaming than awake and have the realization she is still in the same place she has always been.
I think this song is about all the dreams about being famous or loved or even just making it out of some undesirable situation.
