Cover art for A Dream So Real lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm hearing the lyrics a little differently, based on the best quality version of the song I could find on YouTube:

Falling hard Falling fast Somehow landed both feet on the ground A dream so real So inspired I can still smell the smoke and the fire

When I'm gone What I fear most unthinkable thing [sic?] Is that somehow I will never again Feel my arms around you

Oh, when I'm gone I feel lost, too far away Try remember sometimes Gonna fumble till I find Little things that keep me goin'.

A little boy with broken arms He used to dream that he could fly A dream so real That he believed and jumped From the top of the stairs

For a moment, he was there Wings spread wide as the sky But then of course The world pulled him down Crash-landed on the ground

Oh, when I'm gone I feel lost, too far away Try remember sometimes Gonna fumble till I find The little things that keep me goin'.

[Instrumental]

Oh, when I'm gone I feel lost, too far away I try remember sometimes Gonna fumble till I find These little things that keep me goin'.

With every step If we were sure What the next step could be Then of course we would know Just how we ended up here

The we could know How we ended up here

Oh, when I'm gone If I feel lost, too far away I try remember sometimes I'm gonna fumble until I find Little things that keep me goin'.

Little things that keep me goin'....

"Thank you very much for indulging me!"
