This lyrical composition resonates with the poignant themes of longing, unrequited love and the ephemeral nature of relationships. The recurrent question, "If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?" epitomizes the protagonist's yearning for an elusive connection that exists primarily in her dreams. The references to a 'merry-go-round' and 'a wall just to let it fall down', metaphorically illustrate the cyclical and transient aspects of human interactions. Additionally, the imagery of a wilting flower under fluorescent light symbolizes a relationship losing its vitality due to artificiality or lack of genuine warmth. Ultimately, this song encapsulates the emotional turmoil experienced when reality fails to align with our deepest desires. #UnrequitedLove #EphemeralRelationships #Yearning
Dreams Tonite
Lyrics
Rode here on the bus
Now you're one of us
It was magic hour
Counting motorbikes
On the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
On the weird guitar
Said you wrote a while
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light
Antisocialites
Watch a wilting flower
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
Your face was supposed to be
Hanging over me like a rosary
So morose for me, seeing ghosts of me
Writing oaths to me, is it so naive to wonder
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight? Tonight
