Fireman Lyrics

I think this song really goes about a guy who wants to get rid of this girl.

Dreamed I was a fireman. I just smoked and watched you burn. Dreamed I was an astronaut. I shot you down like a juggernaut. Dreamed we were still going out. Had that one a few times now. Woke up to find we were not. It's good to be awake. Dreamed I was a tidal wave. I ravaged your coast, There were no survivors. Dreamed I was your landlord. I showed you place when you had lovers. If I was a vampire, I wouldn't suck your blood.

But somewhere inside of him he knows he craves for this girl

Sweetest dream I have had. If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear, They would give you nightmares for a week. But you're not here and I can never sleep. Come home so I can be a creep. Dreamed I was a dream. I stole you away in your sleep.

And he realizes this and now he wants to be with her but he knows if he is with her, he will only break her because he cant control his depression. You can see this because he is saving her from all the disasters that he created in the first place.
