about

Dreamer is a song about being allowed to dream and wanting to do something with your short time on earth. It was inspired by this feeling that as we grow up, we tend to default to the mundane, normal and let’s be honest - boring. It seemed like a feeling that a lot of our friends were experiencing, that itch you get when you just don’t want to accept that this is it and you want to do something bigger, better, maybe even a little bit crazy and unrealistic with your life

lyrics

I was dreaming of the summer
All the moments we could capture on that reel
Runaways
Fake teenage thrills

You always said that we were different
That somehow everybody else had got things wrong
I wasn’t sure
But I played along

I don’t wanna live forever
But I don’t want the mediocrity to spread
Killing us
As we slowly dissipate away

I want something I can tell the kids
In 45 years
I was a dreamer I wanted it all
Back when I was on my own
With no-one left to rely on
I was a dreamer I wanted it all

I was dreaming of the summer
All the moments we could capture on that reel
Runaways
Fake teenage thrills

I don’t want be a millionaire
I just wanna write something I don’t hate
Simple thoughts
And they’re keeping me awake

I want something I can tell the kids
In 45 years
I was a dreamer I wanted it all
Back when I was on my own
With no-one left to rely on
I was a dreamer I wanted it all
Yeah I was a dreamer I wanted it all

If the whole world collapses in
Or picks away your seams
Meet me far away from here
Meet me in my dreams
Its not complicated
Not as messy as it seems
Meet me at the fountain
Meet me in my dreams

And if I’m dreaming
Honey please don’t wake me up
'Til its over
And if I’m dreaming
Honey please don’t wake me up
'Til its over

I want something I can tell the kids
In 45 years
