Daniel Caesar Lyrics

Sometimes it feels like it's a dream
Daniel Caesar sometimes feels like he's living in a dream.

Everything is not as it seems
Things aren't always what they appear to be for the singer.

If only I could find a pair of glasses
Daniel Caesar wishes that he could have a clearer view of the world.

To help me see the ones that who truly be
He wants to be able to recognize genuine people he can trust.

They live, and we sleep
There are some people out there who are truly living, while others are just going through the motions.

Pray my days will never hit one
He hopes that he never has to experience the lowest point in his life.

Take me far away from the sun
He wants to escape from the harsh reality of life.

If only I could find a way through space-time
He wishes he could go back to a happier time.

Back to when I was happy being me
He wants to return to a time when he was content with himself.

I can hear the bells ringing, reminding us why
The singer is hearing something that reminds him of why he's still here.

We're still here singing, it's Father Time
They are singing to remind themselves of the passing of time.

Stuck in the matrix
The singer feels like he's trapped in the system.

Living a lie
He feels like everyone around him is fake.

I'm not afraid to die
Daniel Caesar is not afraid of death.

Take me back to 2014
He wants to go back to a specific year in the past.

Saw a pic this morning

Far along the journey

The future was alluring
He was excited about what the future held back then.

On the other side of TVs

Hoping that they see me

But they already see me

At least, that's how I see things
He hopes that people in the industry feel the same way about him.

Isn't it funny how the time flies?
The singer is reflecting on how fast time passes by.

Like a G5 jet in turbulence
Time seems to fly by as quickly as a jet in turbulence.

But we gonna make it home tonight, alright, alright
Despite the difficulties, everything will be okay in the end.

My misery is boring
The singer is tired of feeling sorry for himself.

Finally feel confident
After some time, the singer has found his confidence again.

Yes, that's an accomplishment

Many more commas to get

You know it's Stockholm, long road, London, you can't even reach me
Daniel Caesar is in a place where he can't be reached by others.

Just know whenever you need me, we'll figure it out
Despite being unreachable, the singer wants his loved ones to know he will be there for them.

Look up, and you'll see me, and I'll be around
He's going to always be in his hometown, even if he seems hard to reach sometimes.

'Cause when I'm home, I'm lost, let's go
When the singer comes home, he feels like he's lost his way and doesn't know where to go next.

Make it look easy
Despite the difficulties, he makes everything seem easy.

Oh, take it easy on me
He asks for everyone to be gentle with him.

It's still my city, it's still my city
Toronto is still the singer's city, no matter where life takes him.
