In My Dreams Lyrics
Since you're gone, nothing seems to fit no more
Nothing's as it was before
Everyday is a battle that I just can't win
I know I won't see you again
But I keep waiting for the night
I close my eyes and hope you'll find me sleeping
'Cause in my dreams, we can spend a little time just talking
In my dreams, we're side by side, just walking
Oh, well the feelings that we used to know
The places we used to go are still there in my dreams
On the front of the crossbar on your bike
We can go any place, anywhere you like in my dreams
And as hard as it seems, till then I'll wait
To see you again in my dreams
Now don't you wake me up I don't wanna go nowhere
I could wait here for a zillion years, you're gone too soon
I know I'll never get the chance to say the things I never said
But I keep waiting for the night
I close my eyes and hope you'll find me sleeping
'Cause in my dreams we can spend a little time together
In my dreams you can live a little longer
Oh well the feelings that we used to know
The places we used to go are all still there in my dreams
On the front of crossbar of your bike
We can go any place, anywhere you like in my dreams
I hope some day this pain I feel will fade
Till then I'll wait to see you again in my dreams
Yes I'll wait, I'll wait to see you again in my dreams
I'll see you again in my dreams
Well I don't know where and I don't know when
But I know I'll see your face again in my dreams
Nothing's as it was before
Everyday is a battle that I just can't win
I know I won't see you again
But I keep waiting for the night
I close my eyes and hope you'll find me sleeping
In my dreams, we're side by side, just walking
Oh, well the feelings that we used to know
The places we used to go are still there in my dreams
On the front of the crossbar on your bike
We can go any place, anywhere you like in my dreams
And as hard as it seems, till then I'll wait
To see you again in my dreams
I could wait here for a zillion years, you're gone too soon
I know I'll never get the chance to say the things I never said
But I keep waiting for the night
I close my eyes and hope you'll find me sleeping
In my dreams you can live a little longer
Oh well the feelings that we used to know
The places we used to go are all still there in my dreams
On the front of crossbar of your bike
We can go any place, anywhere you like in my dreams
I hope some day this pain I feel will fade
Till then I'll wait to see you again in my dreams
I'll see you again in my dreams
But I know I'll see your face again in my dreams

The meaning of this song is pretty obvious, maybe that's why there were no comments so far. I just wanted to say it really touches my heart every time I listen to it. The feeling of losing someone and yet the beauty and hope of seeing them again even if only in dreams. The phrase that touches me the most is the one that says that in dreams "you could live a little longer"... That's exactly the feeling.. As if those "new" stories developed in dreams were real... Such beautiful and simple song by Dan Wilson.
