Have you ever found yourself having a dream
Where you couldn’t quite figure out the place or time?
Like old faces you’ve seen or places you’ve been
And yet something along the way doesn’t align?
It’s not really a nostalgic trip down memory lane
Like when a song comes on and it takes you back
But as if a present-day reality mixes with some old fantasy
And the fusion makes a remix of a newfound soundtrack
You wake up confuzzled in your bed (or behind the wheel)
Trying to wrap your head around about what you feel
Thinking of the words said in that delirious reel
And how the moment fled just as all seemed surreal
Maybe the synapses in the cortex converge
When imagination and experience intersect
Where the past and present overlap then diverge
And the dream out of time and place has this effect
Have you ever had that kind of dream?
Or is it just me?

Like when a song comes on and it takes you back
But as if a present-day reality mixes with some old fantasy
And the fusion makes a remix of a newfound soundtrack
You wake up confuzzled in your bed (or behind the wheel)
Trying to wrap your head around about what you feel
Thinking of the words said in that delirious reel
And how the moment fled just as all seemed surreal
Maybe the synapses in the cortex converge
When imagination and experience intersect
Where the past and present overlap then diverge
And the dream out of time and place has this effect
Have you ever had that kind of dream?
Or is it just me?
