Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me

You'll take my hand
And you'll look at me adoringly
But as things stand, this time the dream's on me

It would be fun to be certain that i'm the one
To know that i at least supply the shoulder you cry upon
To see you through till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but this time the dream's on me

    General Comment:Ok so my buddy told me what this song means so I can't take the credit.

    I'll keep it brief. The dream on me is them saying that it will work out when it won't but they play along like it will. I'll give you the dream this time...

    We both wanted to play in a band but we're too influenced by society. So for me it was like yeah we're getting each other through this shit and we have a dream we both perpetuate although it probably won't work out.

    Black Hurricanes, hot ratz and jazz. Those were the days.
