All I Did Was Dream Of You (feat. The Marías)

Jump to...

With ‘All I Did Was Dream Of You’, Beabadoobee teams up with The Marias to create a slow and smoldering song with just a little rise and fall.

The rhythm section do most of the lifting, with the guitars saving up for some wiry fuzz to puncture the sanguine verses with just a single big chorus; the others being more acoustic and muted, even with the lead guitar adding interest.

I like the mood created by this song, the laid back chill with just a little twist means the one thick noisy chorus has a big impact.

All I Did Was Dream Of You Lyrics

Please
All I did was dream of you
Swimming in my mind again
Wanting to waste time again

Always so easy with you
I don’t have to think
Pour another drink

And I want it all the time
While I’m yours and you are mine
Going steady till we lie
High at sunrise

All I wanted was to see
Everything you see in me
Everything I wanna be
Highest sunrise

Stay, stay or just leave
Stay or just leave me be
Stay or just leave me be

Nightmares always feel like this
They swallow me
But I let go

Doesn’t feel like I can breathe
They follow me
But I let go
Yeah I let go

And I want it all the time
While im yours and you are mine
Going steady till we lie
Highest sunrise

All I wanted was to see
Everything you see in me
Everything I wanna be
High at sunrise

Stay, stay or just leave
Stay or just leave me be
Stay or just leave me be

Stay
Like the summer breeze
Don’t go
Don’t go
