Beautiful Dream Lyrics

I had a dream I was living by the ocean
I had a dream I was living in the sun
I wake up staring at a mirror in the darkness
I know I'm not alone
I know I'm not the only one

I had a dream that I had no depression
I had a dream I had a smile on my face
I wake up hungry so I feed my obsession
I know I gotta leave you
I know I gotta run away

Far away
Where's the faces all look happy
And I know it's a dream
A beautiful dream
I wanna lose myself in myself
Where I can be free

I just wanna be free
Free in a beautiful dream
It's a beautiful dream

I had a dream I was living by the ocean
I had a dream I was living for the day
I wake up surrounded in perpetual emotion
I know I gotta leave you
I know I gotta run away

Far away
Where's the faces all look happy
And I know it's a dream
A beautiful dream
I wanna lose myself in myself
Where I can be free

I just wanna be free
Free in a beautiful dream
Free inside a beautiful dream
Free in a beautiful dream

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song!! Here are the correct lyrics:

I had a dream I was living by the ocean I had a dream I was living in the sun I wake up sad because I'm living in darkness I know I'm not alone I know I'm not the only one

I had a dream that I had no depression I had a dream I had a smile on my face I wake up hungry so I feed my obsession I know I gotta leave I know I gotta run away

Far away Where the faces all look happy And I know it's a dream A beautiful dream I wanna lose myself in the sunshine Where I can be free

Yeah I just wanna be free Free in a beautiful dream Yeah but it's a beautiful dream

I had a dream I was living by the ocean I had a dream I was living for the day I wake up sad in a perpetual emotion I know I gotta leave you I know I gotta run away

Far away Where's the faces all look happy And I know it's a dream A beautiful dream I wanna lose myself in myself Where I can be free

I just wanna be free Free in a beautiful dream Free inside a beautiful dream Free in a beautiful dream
