Do What Dreams Come True

Story Behind The Song

Written during our engagement, this song is dedicated to my beautiful wife, Meghan.

Song Description

"Do What Dreams Come True" contrasts the busy-ness of modern life with the timelessness of true love. A driving up-tempo beat complements a soaring vocal line and provides a frenetic background that is punctuated by a dreamy half-time chorus. The momentum builds gradually from understated intro to thrilling finish.

Lyrics

I've got a long list
Of things to do before I die

It's pointless,
But I check each one off that I try.

Every time I achieve a new trick up my sleeve
There's another button coming undone.

then you, you come outta nowhere
and now I share what once was mine
and less is more infinite time
to dream what we can do
and do what dreams come true

It's endless
The amount of junk I got on my desk.

And I'm restless
So I wrestle with the meaninglessness

There's no way to relate. I feel like a fake,
And I can't afford to make a mistake.

chorus

I've got a long list
Of things to do before I die

I raise a tight fist
And beat a rhythm into the sky

The rain starts to fall and I hear the call
Of music coming out of the air.
