when i hear this song, i think about the beginning of the end of a relationship. one of the hardest parts: the realization that you have been in denial, that it isn't working anymore. one person in the relationship is witnessng the other slowly pulling away. the person pulling away is dreaming of how things could change for the better, and wakes up 'crying'. the other doesn't want things to end, believes that things will work out. maybe this person realizes that there is no 'real McCoy'... he is almost saying "go ahead, try and find it, it doesn't exist" like nothing is perfect, what we have IS the real thing....
"You can never sleep enough
And your alarm is going off
You wake up and you can't pretend
A dream was just a dream again
Won't you dry your eyes?
it is hard to describe exactly what i feel this song means literally... it is such a great song and everytime that i hear it, i realize how much i relate to it... in what way? i feel like the person drifting away in the relationship, yet somehow i still empathize with the person who is still in love and has been there supporting all along... that is the beauty in this song, it gives me understanding for both people struggling... each on their own journey...
