Dream Boy Lyrics

Summer time it's supposed to bring out
The best in eveybody
But here I lie, waiting for my phone to ring
Man, I could be anybody.
And I wonder, don't you wonder
What is my intention
And if I could ever really truly make you happy?

If it's not enough to keep me hanging around
I'm such a flake boy
When the morning comes
I could be running away
Just like your dream boys.

Send this dream back to yesterday
I don't have the face for tomorrow
Lonely yawning, sleepy this way
Lead me through the trees to your hollow
And I wonder, cos I wonder if I'm gonna lose all
This loving that I feel
'Cos if it could ever really truly make me happy.

If it's not enough to keep me hanging around
I'm such a flake boy
When the morning comes
I could be running away
Just like your dream boys.

I don't want to be your dream boy

Don't make your dream boy

I'm not your 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.

Written by Simon for a movie called Love Kills, I believe. Or maybe it was for something else. Can't remember.

I love this song so much, but it depresses the hell out of me.

I believe there's an error with the lyrics; instead of being "Lonely yawning, sleepy this way", it's "only your lips feed me this way".
