Walking on a Dream Lyrics

Walking on a dream
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Catch me I'm falling down
Catch me I'm falling down

Don't stop just keep going on
I'm your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right till first light

This song is so incredibly magical. Just reminds me of summer when your happy just being with the people that matter to you. so awesome,

Yeah reminds me of that too...just warm and blissful. like nothing could go wrong! the whole feel of summer wrapped in a 3 minute song.

maybe its just cause i have that "happy just being with the people that matter to you" aura right now haha.

lol i thought the lyrics were:

never looking down I'm just a narwhal what's in front of me

eh sopraaano? Toupée pull come home acapelllllla Toupée pull come home

boy, was I off.

Haha love it, I also had some weird ideas.... I thought the chorus started with

It's yer graaaaandma

But I also thought the chorus was in French (thus why it sounds like silly English)... making the second line of the chorus something French like

Ton pays pas ne comprende

Yeah, I obviously do NOT speak French... LOL! And come to find out it's actually ENGLISH WORDS??? Mind blown.

@bestxXbudXxlayf Lol! That's such a messed up interpretation but it kinda sounds like it xD Just made an accont just to thank you for brightening up my day!

Love is a dream, no matter how bad one wants it to be real. One day we wake up and the love is gone. The dreamer knows and keeps running for that thrill. Then the morning comes and all that remains is a lonely heart.
