[Verse 1]
We split one lunch in two
You talked, I leaned right in
Your office door swung shut
And time forgot to leave
I read you little poems
You held them like a key
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you looked up at me
With that half-smile, that spark
You asked me, “Who’s this for?”
And my face turned all red
[Chorus]
I said, a dream, a dream
That’s all I could say
A dream, a dream
You made me look away
We laughed and laughed again
Till the whole day slipped through
A dream, a dream
That’s what I told you
[Verse 2]
Your pen was on the desk
Your coffee went cold twice
We circled every page
Like kids with new shoes on
You teased me, “Come on, now”
I stared down at my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
I had the real truth there
Right on the tip of my tongue
But saying your name out loud
Would have made it too real
[Chorus]
I said, a dream, a dream
That’s all I could say
A dream, a dream
You made me look away
We laughed and laughed again
Till the whole day slipped through
A dream, a dream
That’s what I told you
[Bridge]
Maybe I meant your eyes
Maybe I meant that room
Maybe I meant the way
You made my words feel new
If you read between the lines
You’ll find me there too
[Final Chorus]
I said, a dream, a dream
That’s all I could say
A dream, a dream
You made me look away
Three hours disappeared
Like they knew what to do
A dream, a dream
And it was you, it was you
