All the friends I believed in I believed in for a while They had their flair They had their style But nobody quite got it right Nobody knew Just how it feels to dream Dream But sometimes when I'm dreaming And I dream a lot these days I need someone who understands Who leads me through the haze It's only when I'm dreaming That I fall in love for real But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I'm dreaming And it's now That I need a friend I reach out for the phone Nobody's there, nobody's home Though it may not be right To give up the fight I'm sailing away Now I'm on my own, alone But sometimes when I'm dreaming And I dream a lot these days I need someone who understands Who leads me through the haze It's only when I'm dreaming That I fall in love for real But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I'm dreaming But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I'm dreaming
