Cover art for A Girl Can Dream lyrics by Melissa Mcclelland

The verses are all about an ambitious goal: treating her partner better, but the "a girl can dream" refrain is really interesting to me. It might mean she knows she's not likely to succeed at cleaning up her act. It might mean HE doesn't have faith that she will. And it might mean dreaming is all she can do about her old "dark" ways, which she misses.
