Spending all my money on phone cards
Waiting for my ship to come in
In from that ocean
Come home to this sea
Harboring in me
I don't believe in four leaf clovers
Or the luck they're supposed to bring
I've used all my wild cards
But theres something I can do
To get close to you

Chorus:
I've got dreams of love
And I love you
I know you feel the same way too
I feel your spirit
When you're near me
and when you're away
Somehow somewhere
I'll see you again
But until then
I've got dreams of loving you

Thinking bout' every little thing
We ever did crazy
Sipping on that memory lane
That lane never closes
Seven days of the week
I can drive in my sleep

Chorus

Dreams I will share
When I see you again
And I'll see you again pretty soon
I could wait
But until then...

I've got dreams

Chorus

    By far my favorite Gavin DeGraw song!!! This song is the complete best song ever!! If any guy was to go up to a girl and say this to her she would forever be yours hands down. This is about a man who is completely in love with a woman. He is saying how his dream is to love her and the woman feels the exact same way. All this song screams HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!

    This song is about dreaming of that perfect person that you just wish you could be in a relationship with and hoping that when you sees them again you will both fall in love. Perfect "fairy-tale" song!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
