Daydreamer Lyrics
Soaking up the sun he is a
Real lover, makin’ up the past and feeling up his girl like he’s never felt her figure before
Her joy (..?)
Looks good when he when he walks, he is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase, but good to catch and he could change the world with his hands behind his back, Oh…
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he’s been there for hours
And you can tell that he’ll be there for life
He lends his coat for shelter because he’s there for you when he shouldn’t be
But he stays all the same, waits for you and then sees you through
There’s no way I could describe him
All I say is, just what I’m hoping for
Waiting for the surprise
It will feel like he’s been there for hours
And I can tell he’ll be there for life
And I can tell he’ll be there for life

trying not to sound too pretentious; i cant help but thinking this song's about me....

Loved this song for ages, Adele is a gem. I have a few corrections that I'm 99% sure are correct:
"He is a real lover of making up the past and feeling up his girl like he's never felt her figure before A jaw-dropper, looks good when he walks ..."
& I think it's:
'There's no way I could describe him, what I've said is just what I'm hoping for"

i think it's fairly obvious (not to sound pretentious) that she's not describing a daydreamer, rather, she is the daydreamer, or we all are.
this is a daydreamer's description of what the perfect man is,
he's a jaw-dropper, he's got eyes that'll make you melt, he'll wait on your doorstep just to surprise you with a visit, he's there for you, even when he shouldn't be, and he'll be there, for LIFE.
i think my theory is solidified in the line "there's no way i could describe him, what i've said is just what i'm hoping for"
and as for the quote from adele about the bisexual boyfriend, i think it makes perfect sense that while she's in a relationship with so much doubt and uncertainty, that she would of course imagine one that would be free of all those things, someone she could count on to be there when she needed them, and someone who just loved her, and nobody else.
I think it is a perfect analysis however. I love Adele anyway.

you've no idea how much that made sense to me. i thought the song was about a daydreamer as well, someone who was describing the perfect man and could only hope that he would turn up 'sitting on her doorstep' waiting for her. can't help it but feel the same way sometimes. anyway, i love the song to bits and pieces.

Maybe it's a mempory, and Adele is reflecting that?
Right lyrics
"Daydreamer"
Daydreamer, sittin' on the seat Soaking up the sun he is a real lover, Of makin' up the past And feeling up his girl Like he's never felt her figure before A jaw-w dropper Looks good when he walks, He's the subject of their talk He would be hard to chase, but good to catch And he could change the world with his hands behind his back, Oh...
You can find him sittin' on your doorstepppp Waitin-g-g-g-g-g for the surpriseeee And it will feel like he's been there for hourssss And you can tell that he'll be there for life-ife-ife
Verse 2
Daydreamer, with eyes that make you melt He lends his coat for shelter Plus he's there for you when he shouldn't be But he stays all the same, waits for you, then sees you through There's no way I could describe him What I'll say is, just what I'm hoping for-or-or-or
Bridge
But I will find him sittin' on mu doorstepppp Waitin-g-g-g-g-g for the surpriseeee And it will feel like he's been there for hourssss And I can tell that he'll be there for life-ife-ife And I can tell he'll be there for life-e-e-e-e-e-e-e

I love this song! I just heard it yesterday and it just did something to me. I was crying-- on a sunny day and I'm crying! Well, I think this song is just about a boy who is a daydreamer, and yet he doesn't appear to be the daydreamer some folks deem lazy. "He could change the world with his hands behind his back" (!!!!). That has got to be one of the best line in song history!
Also, she describes him as a "real lover" -- most dreamy types are. He is someone that really can just sit on the doorstep and pass his life away because he is changing other people's lives just by sitting there dreaming. Well, I guess.
Gotta love how she says: WAITING FOR SURPRISE! Thanks ADELE for this song! I LOVE IT!

apparently this songs about a bisexual boyfriend that cheated on her
she has an iiiincredible voice

ok, definately not about me then...

This is what Adele herself says about the song:
"'Daydreamer’ is about this boy I was in love with, like proper in love with. He was bi and I couldn’t deal with that. All the things I wanted from my boyfriend, he was never going to be. I get really jealous anyway, so I couldn’t fight with girls and boys."

and I also love what Summer Baby has said about the song :)

'real lover, makin up the past and feeling up his girl like hes never felt her figure before'
i loveeeeeeeeeeee that line! and this song actually, her voice gives me the shivers (in a lovely way)
