i think this song is about being in loved with someone but only having the love of that person in your dreams, because in real life it cant happen
When I look at you
Oh, I dont know what I feel
Once in a while
And you make me laugh
-when she looks at her while hes awake, he doesn't know if he feels happy to see her or sad because she cant (or doesn't want to) be with him, every once in a while they have a laugh together as friends
And I'll sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Once in a while
Then you take me down
When you walk away
-and he will fall asleep at night, and it wont pass much time for him to start dreaming about her, (i think that once in a while here actually means always), he dreams that they are having sex, i suppose, and then she get up and leaves and he wakes up
When you say "I do"
Oh, but I don't believe in you
I can't forget it
No...oooh
-he is now dreaming awake, he dreams she says yes to him and that she wants to be with him, he asks her "do you love me? and she answers "yes" but then reality kicks in and he knows its not true, yet he cant forget about her, no...oooh he cant
When you sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Once in a while
When you make me smile
When you turn your long blonde hair
-and when "you" (hes talking to himself like saying "and here it goes again") he will dream of her, all the time, and he will smile like hes hypnotized, when she turns her long blonde hair
a song about how living reality is sometimes so painful, that you can only be happy in your dreams... so sad, yet so beautiful
