The title comes from the movie Waking Life. It's about the mixing of life and dreams and the thin line that separates the two. I often go through periods where I have a lot of dreams that feel so real that when I wake up I actually have to think about whether or not it actually happened and that's basically the basis of this song in some way...a romanticized version of it anyways.
lyrics
I had a dream that we were machines and I was programmed to love you. There were sparks each time we touched. Kilowatts inside our hearts. Batteries that would never run dry. Forever, just you and I.
I had a dream that we were paintings hanging out opposite walls. Such brilliant blues and greens were used to paint our scenes. The sky was crystal clear. No dark clouds for the rest of our years.
I had a dream that there were green rolling hills as far as our eyes could see. Not another soul in sight. Just you and I for the rest of our lives. What a perfect way to spend a night. Forever, just you and I.
