Story Behind The Song

I met a girl in a dream and then woke up into another dream and saw her again and I was like whoa I just saw you in a dream just now, not realizing that in fact I was still in the middle of another dream.

Song Description

An exploration into what dreams mean to different people.

Lyrics

When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
Try to go a little farther than you've been
You can't go, where you've never gone before now
So you dig a little deeper down
For a semblance of something known that feels good

When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
When you're living in the real world
When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
When you're living in the real world

I went down to the basement, figured out what eight meant
Figured out that hate is wasted, not spent
Saw a spider and made a friend, he showed us that it never really ends
It all starts again and if
Time won't change then I will change the place I'm in
My mind keeps floating away and away 'til I wake

When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
When you're living in the real world
When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
When you're living in the real world

I wake up in the middle of a middle of a dream
It's your dream
When you're centered in the center of your scene
It might be, if you believe it
You try to find another line, the one you were thinkin
But you voted on the mother ride and
Now we're dreaming

When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
When you're living in the real world
When you wake up in the middle of a dream
It's no dream when you're living in the real world
When you're living in the real world
