This Could Be a Dream Lyrics
Look up at the light
This could be a dream or it could be real
Dive in to my mind
And don't come up for air, you won't need it here
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I move you? Can I sooth your fear?
Could you trust love, if I prove it's there?
Oh, I need to know it too
And now I don't feel you
[Chorus]
So I lift myself and I close my eyes
And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I know I should figure this out on my own
But if you come back could you take me home?
I get back up when the wind is strong
But I wish I knew how it felt to run
I know I'm not alone
And if you come back could you take me home?
[Verse 2]
Being so alive can hurt so very much
When you're losing touch
But if I touch you, would you feel it there?
Could I trust love, even if I'm scared?
Oh, I wish I could give, like I'm longing to give
Oh, I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live
[Chorus]
And I lift myself and I close my eyes
And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I know I should figure this out on my own
But if you come back could you take me home?
I get back up when the wind is strong
But I wish I knew how it felt to run
I know I'm not alone
And if you come back could you take me home?
[Bridge]
This could be a dream
This could be a dream
[Chorus]
And I lift myself and I close my eyes
And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I know I should figure this out on my own
But if you come back will you take me home?
I get back up when the wind is strong
But I wish I knew how it felt to run
I know I'm not alone
And if you would come could you take me home?
About
This Could Be A Dream is the second longest song on the album, produced by similar drums to Everything Matters (ft. Pomme).
The song itself is about people who cannot walk or stand up, and living with the dream of being able to move freely both mentally and physically.
The greek god it was inspired by was Morpheus, the primordial god of dreams. He shaped and formed dreams, which meant he was a messenger of the gods; being able to send divine messages to sleeping people in the mortal realm.

I wrote this very late, so it was completely dark the whole time. I was thinking about people’s dark hours, and I wanted to make a song for those who never learn to dance and run because they’re just managing to stand up. It takes so many muscles for a human body to even stand up, so I can understand why people can’t find the strength for it. It’s very hard to be a human, and I’m just saddened by the idea that some people never get to explore their own full potential because they constantly have to simply fight for the right to exist. That just breaks my heart. So I wanted to make a song for them.
