This Must Be My Dream Lyrics
I personify the ‘adolescent on a phone’
Speaking like I’m bigger than my body
I personify that lack of freedom in your life
And I'm sure she'll be gone in a second
Let me tell you 'bout this girl
I thought she'd rearrange my world
Takes a particular type of girl
To put my heart under arrest
So why is this feeling on my chest?
(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
Pipe down, you're no lover
It's failing 'cause you want it to
Well, I thought it was love but I guess I must be dreaming
'Bout feeling something instead of you
What did I tell you 'bout this girl?
The one to rearrange your world?
You got excited and now you find out that your 'girl' won't even get you undressed
Or care about your beating chest
(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
Speaking like I’m bigger than my body
I personify that lack of freedom in your life
And I'm sure she'll be gone in a second
I thought she'd rearrange my world
Takes a particular type of girl
To put my heart under arrest
So why is this feeling on my chest?
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
It's failing 'cause you want it to
Well, I thought it was love but I guess I must be dreaming

We can't make love when you fly around me baby

seems to me like a post-breakup song, like the sort of thoughts and feelings you have when it's still fresh and raw in your mind. you think about it a lot so you're dreaming about them too in this verses he also talks a lot about how he thought this girl would "rearrange his world" and she was totally revolutionary, but he winds up just kicking himself because he's caught up and she doesn't give nearly as much of a shit as he does ("you got excited and now you find out that your 'girl' won't even get you undressed or care about your beating chest") the chorus is like a monologue/internal argument about her and he seems really passionate when he sings it as well ("i can't wait for you boy") probably my favorite song on the new album because i relate to the frustration in the song & it's also the most 80's-sounding in my opinion :^)
