It’s about a girl. A girl that’s not really there, or that he just hasn’t met yet. But somehow the singer already reveres her beyond all reasonable measure. Maybe because she’s not there?

 

Daydream Diaries – Lyrics

Take me by the hand
And tell me that I’m just a child
And all the while
Keep singing me songs
Keep writing me letters
Keep telling me stories that show
How great it is to be alive

Because when I try to write it down
I just can’t make it sound
Like something to believe in
Something that you’d die to keep
Something that you’ll dream of at night
And that will really make your day

Didn’t I hear you say

That we’re both too young
And life is too good and too precious
Life is too good to go out
And throw it all away

Did it lead you my way

A gentle reminder
From my New Year’s Queen
So I’ll have my lesson today
In what living really means

Or are you just my own dream

That’ll leave in the morning
Scornful and bored
Not willing to waste precious time
And forever pity me

But maybe you’re alive
And real in all your beauty
And though it seems you’re too good to be true
Maybe you’ll even stay

Didn’t I hear you say

Don’t think it’s over
When it’s not yet begun.
The moon’s just a darker
View of the sun
Believe in something simple
I’ll make you try
See, this one’s too plain to be a lie

Each day just brings another night
And each night, another day

So take me in your arms and make sure
I’ll live to see that day
Take me in your arms and make sure
I’ll live to see that day
