"Another Dream That Got Away" was written in November of 2013 by myself and cowriter Jon Robb. It's an ode to the anxious, yet blissful feeling of finding that person that just hits all the right buttons, hoping they will stick around.
lyrics
She's a daydream in real time
Her love's built like a thrill ride
The beauty on the inside
Too wonderous to describe
Took every nerve I have just to ask her to dance
It's an unsolved mystery as to why she took a chance
Got to pinch myself cause she's still here today
I'm riddled with anxiety most every move I make
Fantasies fade easy, I don't wanna wake
Afraid if I open my eyes, she'll be another dream that got away
Life is too short to waste a second
A minute with her is such a blessing
Sharing an hour, a gift so unexpected
I'll leave my watch home so time won't keep me guessing
I took so much for granted in my checkered past
I'll hold her heart carefully like it was made of glass
Got to pinch myself cause she's still here today
I'm riddled with anxiety most every move I make
Fantasies fade easy, I don't wanna wake
Afraid if I open my eyes, she'll be another dream that got away
Maybe I've gone crazy
Is she imaginary
A vision that might vanish in thin air
The happiness I'm feeling
Is enough to leave me reeling
Baby keep that crazy going
No way I could care
Got to pinch myself cause she's still here today
I'm riddled with anxiety most every move I make
Fantasies fade easy, I don't wanna wake
Afraid if I open my eyes, she'll be another dream that got away
