Story behind the song
A lot of times our relationships don't work and it feels like we're chasing dreams. So, I wrote this because I was getting that feeling.
Lyrics
V1
I'm single now, I look around,
And couples just annoy me.
I'm not the type to settle down,
I know that would just bore me.
Besides I looked & shopped around,
And permanent's not for me.
But every now and then I think it could be.
In my dreams I see perfection,
But it seems a million miles away.
'Cause when I look at my reflection,
My baggage gets in the way...
CHORUS
I'm just chasing dreams.
In a world where no one's really.
Really what they seem.
I can't find the real thing.
So I'm just chasing dreams.
In hopes that I may find one.
One I won't wake up from.
If you should ever need me...
I'll be chasing dreams.
V2
You can keep your therapist.
They can't tell me how to feel.
When reality is fake, yeah.
Dreams can seem so real.
A beacon of light,
The inspiration it guides,
And keeps me up on my toes,
With a glimmer of hope.
That someone's possibly,
Out there dreaming of me.
Not sure if I have a chance,
But if so...
CHORUS
I'm just chasing dreams.
In a world where no one's really.
Really what they seem.
I can't find the real thing.
So I'm just chasing dreams.
In hopes that I may find one.
One I won't wake up from.
If you should ever need me...
I'll be chasing dreams.
SPOKEN:
Your past makes you believe that your future is bleak.
And what you've been through it can either make you strong or make you weak.
Your dreams are what can guide you from your state of self-defeat.
Go on and brush your shoulders off and stand up on your feet.
But dreams are so hard to find.
They're like gold in a mine.
Like finding good vintage wine.
Like the blind leading the blind.
Was it all a twist a fate?
In your cognitive state...
When it ends and when you wake...
Was it all in your mind?
CHORUS
Oooh, chasing dreams.
In a world where no one's really.
Really what they seem.
I can't find the real thing.
So I'm just chasing dreams.
In hopes that I may find one.
One I won't wake up from.
If you should ever need me...
I'll be chasing dreams.
BREAK
I look out and I wonder where are tonight?
Will the day come, when I meet you finally?
Have I met you? Are you already in my life?
Or will you come find me? So I'll quit...
CHORUS
...Chasing dreams.
In a world where no one's really.
Really what they seem.
I can't find the real thing.
So I'm just chasing dreams.
In hopes that I may find one.
One I won't wake up from.
If you should ever need me...
I'll be chasing dreams.
In a world where no one's really.
Really what they seem.
I can't find the real thing.
So I'm just chasing dreams.
In hopes that I may find one.
One I won't wake up from.
If you should ever need me...
I'll be chasing dreams.
