Be there when you dream
I wish that when you spoke to me
I'd know what you mean”

Context: I wish I could promise I'll
Be there when you dream
I wish that when you spoke to me
I'd know what you mean But you can't bring me comfort
By filling up my eyes
They don't stay dry
Hard as I try
Can't figure why
Made I this choice

But I don't want nothing at all

Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah”
