About

“Dreams Tonite” seems to be about having so much love and caring for someone, but the relationship you had has fallen apart. This is quite obvious by the pre-chorus' lines “who starts a fire just to let it go out” and “who builds a wall just to let it fall down.”

The track is notable for the line “...

Dreams Tonite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rode here on the bus
Now you're one of us
It was magic hour
Counting motorbikes
On the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's

[Pre-Chorus]
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?

[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

[Verse 2]
On a weird guitar
Said you wrote a while
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light
Antisocialites
Watch a wilting flower

[Pre-Chorus]
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?

[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything

[Bridge]
Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
Your face was supposed to be hanging over me like a rosary
So morose for me, seeing ghosts of me
Writing oaths to me, is it so naïve to wonder?

[Chorus]
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything

What have the artists said about the music video?

We have this friend, Matt Johnson, creator of the show, Nirvana The Band The Show; it’s very funny. He’s done some great films where he inserts himself into archival footage and it’s extremely convincing. We had an idea where we wanted to do something with Expo 67 because it was such a beautiful exp...
