The key to a door to a world like that

Some songs sound way more cheerful than they actually are, don't they?

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 

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 

I can't remember the dream that I had last night 

If I could I would write it out, underline the highlights 

Of the dream that would now redefine my life 

Be a new road map, affirmation and guiding light 

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 

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 

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 

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 

Why can't I remember the dream that I had? 

Wish I could go live in the dream that I had
