about

FUN FACT:
This track is one of the older songs on the EP, with composition beginning in 2008. It was nearly split into two songs, but in the end I opted for one longer song (feels a bit better on shuffle). Contrary to the lyrics, this song is neither about a girl, or California... *~Metaphor!~*

lyrics

Thinking & Dreaming
Dwight Evan Young

{Thinking}

I’ve been thinking about you all day and night
Till you fade away.
Reminiscing over the last thing you said to me,
Gone like the wind through the trees

But I couldn’t be who you wanted me to be.
And I never saw what you needed me to see.
I am subdued
Thinking of you, and a
Promise made under the moon.
The moon…
I’ll find you.

I’ve never been great with long goodbyes
So I’ll try to be brief
I don’t say what I mean, but I mean what I say and
I’m so sick of wearing my heart and my soul on my sleeve
But I find no relief

And I couldn’t be who you wanted me to be. (No more long goodbyes)
And I never saw what you needed me to see. (Right before my eyes)
I am restrained
By the cage of my brain
Echo the words; “I love you”
“Love you”…
I’ll find you.

{Dreaming}

I’m dreaming of a nice, warm, bright
California day every night.
I feel it in my bones; I’ll find you there
Till then my heart is waiting to ignite!

In a room of dark and shattered glass
I claw through papers from a tattered past.
Scrawled in a letter no one saw,
These words are empty but they say it all…

California,
I can’t stop dreaming of you.
California,
You’re always too good to be true.

The summer’s midnight sounds remain serene,
Surrounded by the muted blues and greens.
I wonder if I’ll ever miss this town.
Tonight’s the night I leave this in-between.

The gravel’s crunch is song; sublime and sweet,
While in my tread I fight this urge to sleep.
In every dream I have of you I’ve drowned,
No sound can find me but those words repeat:

Jump into the
Sparkling water,
Isn’t it intoxicating?

Take the air in,
Let it fill you,
Can’t you feel your soul become new?

[California,
I can’t stop dreaming of you.
California,
You’re always too good to be true.]

On the mountain,
In the sunshine,
Don’t you feel a new beginning?

In the moonlight,
Made of stardust,
Become one with all you’re giving

Everything is
What you make it.
Every dream can be a future.

Let your heart stay
For a moment,
Won’t you say it’s like coming home?
