The song is about a girl, that the singer is in love with, that is intangible, meaning unable to be touched or grasped. He longs to be with her in the real world, and to see her in his dreams.
[Verse 1]
I'll wake up upset, again
'Cause I only get to be with you when I'm sleeping
But damn you looked great, all intangible and smiling
But damn you looked great, all intangible and smiling
[Chorus]
But I just wish you could exist in the real world
'Cause you made me feel a kind of warmth I've never felt before
[Verse 2]
But these few short seconds a year they just aren't doing it for me
And I've just about forgot what you looked like sprawling out on me
These few short seconds a year they just aren’t doing it for me. I've just about forgot what you looked like laying out on me
[Chorus]
But I just wish you could exist in the real world
Because you made feel a kind of warmth I've never felt before
And I just wish you could spend a little time here with me
My beautiful friend, Valerie
[Outro]
And I still go back in there every now and again
To see If I can find my intangible friend
And I still go back in there every now and again
To see If I can find my intangible friend
And these few short seconds a year they just ain't doing it for me I've just about forgot what you looked like sprawled out on me
And I've never even gotten to know you outside of a dream Intangible and smiling
