Lyrics

Dreamed I was a fireman
I just smoked and watched you burn
Dreamed I was an astronaut
I shot you down like a juggernaut
Dreamed we were still going out
Had that one a few times now
Woke up to find we were not
It's good to be awake
Dreamed I was a tidal wave
I ravaged your coast
There were no survivors
Dreamed I was your landlord
I showed you place when you had lovers
If I was a vampire
I wouldn't suck your blood
Then I dreamed I was you
Sweetest dream I have had
If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear
They would give you nightmares for a week
But you're not here and I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep
Dreamed I was a dream
I stole you away, away in your sleep
Saved you from a fire
A gun for hire
Introduced you to a vampire
A wave crashed on the beach
We rolled around in its foamy grasp
Kissing in the chaos of a kelpy sea
Seems I couldn't save you from me
If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear
They would give you nightmares for a week
But you're not here and I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep
Maybe I'm obsessive to think like this
Probably not impressing you with my cheap tricks
Honey, it's depressing what depression does to some
I'll play the part for hours
But I know you'll never come
If you could hear the dreams I've had, my dear
They would give you nightmares for a week
But you're not here and I can never sleep
Come home so I can be a creep
