Dreamed I was a fireman
I just smoked and watched you burn
Dreamed I was an astronaut
I shot you down like a juggernaut
Dreamed we were still going out

Had that one a few times now
Woke up to find we were not
It's good to be awake.

Dreamed I was a tidal wave
I ravaged your coast,
There were no survivors.
Dreamed I was your landlord
I showed your place when you had lovers.
If I was a vampire,
I wouldn't suck your blood.
Then I dreamed I was you
Sweetest dream I have had.

[CHORUS] :
If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear,
They would give you nightmares for a week.
But you're not here, and I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep.

Dreamed I was a dream
I stole you away, away in your sleep.
Saved you from a fire, a gun for hire,
Introduced you to a vampire.
A wave crashed on the beach
We rolled around in its foamy grasp,
Kissing in the chaos of a kelpy sea
Seems I couldn't save you from me.

[CHORUS]

Maybe I'm obsessive to think like this
Probably not impressing you with my cheap tricks
Honey, it's depressing what depression does to some.
I'll play the part for hours,
But I know you'll never come.

[CHORUS]
