I\'ve been having dreams about you
It\'s really quite peculiar
We haven\'t spoken since high school
So why are you on my mind
That dream of us at the airport
A tight hug and a soft kiss
The feeling of losing you
I coul feel the warm tears
I\'ve seen you twice since graduation
Once on main street
And once at my job
The soft blushes and shy smiles
Every time Livin\' on a Prayer comes on
I daydream about us dancing to it
The way we used to back in school
Middle school was much simpler
I had a dream just the other night
You confessed that you loved me
And I told you the same
But turned you down for the one I\'m with
I woke up very confused
The thing I had always wondered
Happened that night in my dreams
It reminds me of school days
We used to get asked it all the time
If we were dating of just friends
You would look to me for the answers
What if I had said it was true
Sometimes I miss your blond hair
Or how we\'d snuggle during assemblies
The teachers used to get so mad
You offering me your jacket often
I\'m not sure why you\'re in my dreams now
But maybe it just means that I miss you
Or I just miss when things were easier
Before all of the stress of adulthood
I wish you had kept me close that night
Homecoming was such a whirlwind
The way we danced so close
How you never left my side
Telling me that my boyfriend was missing out
Taking me by the hand softly
You could see just how lonely I was feeling
I hope you really meant your compliment
There\'s a song that reminds me of you
It\'s by one of my favourite bands
It makes me think of middle school
And how you seemed so jealous of a flower
From a guy I didn\'t really like in that way
I took it to be nice and meant it friendly
But oh how I wished it had been you
I wonder if you would buy me a rose
I wonder if it was because you just knew
The carnation didn\'t mean as much as it did to him
You knew it wasn\'t a flower I prefer
If there were other choices, would I have gotten one
I wonder if you remember how I looked that night
I remember every aspect of you
From your soft eyes to your warm smile
And the way you refused to leave my side that night
You kept me warm from the breeze outside
During the fire alarm that evacuated us
We joked about how dumb the smoke machine was
And why would they put it in a school gymnasium
Sometimes I daydream about that night
I wonder what would have happened if I was honest
If I had been bolder about the way I felt
Would you have told me the same thing
I wonder if in another reality these would not be dreams
They would be a reality for you and I
But they must live in my dreams and my head for now
For you were my one who got away
