when i sleep, i'm dreaming
when i sleep, i'm dreaming
when i sleep, i'm dreaming for you

feel my heart it's aching
wish i could stop breaking
spend all day just thinking for you

when you sleep, i'm thinking
when you sleep, i'm thinking
when you sleep, i'm thinking for her

wish i still could love you
floating high above you
just don't think i'm sinking for you

this pillow talk
don't wake me up
my dream is done
i'm still in love
i know your fears
just lying here
i think i'll leave
please don't my dear
this pillow talk will wake me up
no matter what i'm dreaming

when you leave, i'm lying
when you leave, i'm lying
when you leave, i'm lying for you

and i know it hurts you
nothing else i can do
you won't let me, though i want to

when you leave, i'm lonely
when you leave, i'm lonely
when you leave, i'm lonely for you

roll around in our bed
can't stop thoughts in my head
the screaming girl just gets up for you

this pillow talk
don't wake me up
my dream is done
i'm still in love
i know your fears
just lying here
i think i'll leave
please don't my dear
this pillow talk will wake me up
no matter what i'm dreaming

pack my things, i'm leaving
wish i could stop breathing
know you'll be coming back for me
if we fight and make up
if we fight and make up
if we fight, we wake up lonely

this pillow talk
don't wake me up
my dream is done
i'm still in love
i know your fears
just lying here
i think i'll leave
please don't my dear
this pillow talk will wake me up
no matter what i'm dreaming

    My Interpretation:Oh god do I love this song. It's so beautiful like all their songs. I'm not 100% sure, but from what I get from the song, the guy has lost feelings for his girlfriend and wants to move on to other things, and has already found someone else who occupies the thoughts and feelings he had for his feelings, but his girlfriend hasn't "woken up" from the dream of their relationship, and can't let go of the man she loves. He tries to leave, but she won't let him go because she hasn't woken up from the "dream".

    General Comment:I love this song and this artist, so thank you for posting some of their lyrics. I wish I knew exactly what this song was getting at, but one thing I noticed was a lot of the songs on this album seem to take a very realistic approach and perspective towards the ever-so-familiar ups and downs of a relationship. I think that's one of the reasons I love this album so much -- Not only is it musically excellent, but also so easily relatable and down to earth.
