Only in Dreams Lyrics

Cover art for Only in Dreams lyrics by Weezer

this is the song about a breakup.

the protagonist is so in love with this girl that its "in his bones" that she is "home" that she is everywhere (oxygen, molecules). then there's a flashback to when it began. it was improbable that she'd go out with him, but she did. (dancing scene).

and in the end, the relationship does not work out, and he "wakes up", realizing that the past was like a beautiful love story without the happy ever after ending.

This should have been the theme song for 500 Days of Summer.
