Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like a cloud, his fingers explode
On the typewriter ribbon, the shadow grows
His heart's in a bowl behind the bank
[PreChorus]
And every evening, when he gets home
To make his supper and eat it alone
His black shirt cries while his shoes get cold
[Chorus]
It's just a dream he keeps having
And it doesn't seem to mean anything
And it doesn't seem to mean anything
[Verse 2]
One summer, a suicide
Another autumn, a traveler's guide
He hits snooze twice before he dies
[PreChorus]
And every evening, when he gets home
To make his supper and eat it alone
His black shirt cries while his shoes get cold
[Chorus]
It's just a dream he keeps having
And it doesn't seem to mean anything
It's just a dream he keeps having
[Bridge]
He feels lucky to have you here
In his kitchen, in your chair
Sometimes he forgets that you're even there
[Outro]
It's just a dream he keeps having
And it doesn't seem to mean anything
It's just a dream he keeps having
It's just a dream
And it doesn't seem to mean anything
