i was only dreamin' lyrics

She left her shoes out on the beach, she left my dreams just out of reach
She left her footprints in the sand, she was a bird right in the hand
I met a girl that made me laugh, she left a faded photograph
I thought I heard a siren song, I sang along but I was

I was only dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head, talkin' in my sleep
Turning in my bed but I was only dreamin'

I met a girl that talked in rhyme, I met a girl who took her time
I saw the ocean in her eyes, I saw myself unrecognized
And all the stars up in the sky fell down like rain and made me cry
I held the world right in my hands, I held her close but I was

I was only dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head talkin' in my sleep
Turning in my bed, life was so complete
But I was only dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Oh yea

I was only dreamin', I was only dreamin'
Visions in my head, talkin' in my sleep
Turning in my bed, life was so complete
Her shoes were on the beach but I was only dreamin'
