Released on August 10, 2021 as a single for BOOK with a video directed by Alex Italics, this song presents a picture of someone struggling with remembering a dream they found was better than their real life.
[Verse 1]
I can't remember the dream that I had last night
But I woke with delight and excitement
And then when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night
It was gone, but the feeling I had in the dream stayed on
[Chorus]
When I'm awake and I look around me
I can faithfully record everything that I see
Most of my memories tend to be sad
So I wish I could remember the dream that I had
[Verse 2]
I can't remember the drеam that I had last night
If I could I would write it out, underline thе highlights
Of the dream that would now redefine my life
Be a new road map, affirmation and guiding light
[Chorus]
When I'm awake, I note all that I see
And remember it with photographic accuracy
Most of my memories tend to be bad
And I'm sad I can't remember the dream that I had
[Bridge]
Why can't I remember it when
I can't forget unpleasant thoughts? I want to push them away
They creep like weeds, like weeds, they cover all the flowerbeds
[Verse 3]
I can't remember the dream that I had last night
But the simple fact that my mind could concoct such a thing
As the incredible dream that I had last night
Is a clue to the key to a door to a world like that
[Chorus]
My daily life doesn't interest me
It's a never-ending litany of pain and ennui
This waking nightmare is driving me mad
And I wish I could remember the dream that I had
[Chorus]
When I'm awake, I note all that I see
And remember it with photographic accuracy
All of my memories make me feel bad
And I'm sad I can't remember the dream that I had
[Outro]
Why can't I remember the dream that I had?
Wish I could go live in the dream that I had
