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
