Talking Dreams Lyrics

This is a short race, this is a short life
Let's run, not walk, through this beautiful life
This is a good day, this is a good sign
You've got green eyes and I've got sunrise

We're falling sideways, big lights freeways
Heart beats through me, through this beautiful life

We're talking dreams maybe
Let's run away to New York City
We're talking dreams baby
We'll cut the strings maybe
Through rose-colored lenses
Try not to forget it
We're talking dreams maybe
We're talking dreams baby, yeah

(We're talking dreams baby)

This is a short race, this is a short life
Let's run, not walk, through this beautiful life
This is a good day, this is a good sign
You've got green eyes and I've got sunrise

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.

The song tells the story of a boy and girl who just want to be noticed. "This cry to be like the cool kids… it's something that everyone kind of goes through whether you want to act like it or not," Jamie explained to Radio.com. "There's always somebody out there that you kind of wish, 'If only I could do this, or do that.' I think that's why it connects with people so well." The official music video was released on June 21, 2013 on their official YouTube channel. The video was filmed in Los Angeles, CA and was directed by Gus Black. After receiving one million views on their video, Echosmith released an acoustic version of the song.The band released a new music video for "Cool Kids" on September 11, 2014.
