Understand This Is A Dream

Juliana Theory Understand This Is A Dream Lyrics
1.August In Bethany

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fielder, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

With the sound of the ocean crashing
7:30, Friday evening
Everything comes tumbling down

I choke back each tear that bleeds
I'd rather rest forever in your arms
I'd rather stay here than go
But I know that I should leave

As I sit here helpless

Don't go
You said you wouldn't, you said you wouldn't
Don't go
You said you wouldn't, you said you couldn't

Don't go
You said you wouldn't, you said you wouldn't
Don't go
You said you wouldn't, you said you couldn't

I think of our times together
Is it fading or am I dreaming
Everything you said lives on
I cherish our memories

I want to kiss your tears away tonight
It's hard to give up
The one you never thought you'd leave

Don't go, don't go
Your eyes, they see through my soul
Don't go, don't go
You say as I walk out your door

With the sound of the ocean crashing
7:30, Friday evening
Everything comes tumbling down


2.The Closest Thing

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fiedler, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

You're the words that come out easy
And I am speechless at best
Your star, it seems to shine above the rest

You're the face before the cameras
The smile I'd like to earn
The closest thing to perfect
In a Hollywood to burn

You're the beauty that is deeper
Than eyes can merely see
The closest thing to perfect
But the farthest thing from me

I'd love to be
The shoulder that you cry on
I'd love to be
The friend you call when things are great

I'd love to be
The shoulder that you cry on
I'd love to be
The friend you call when things are great

You're the dream that hasn't ended
And I'm still anxious for rest
Your words, they seem to hang above my head

You're the bud before the flower
Unfurls into full bloom
Captivating beauty but it maybe all too soon

You're the song that writes a story
But leaves a lot to read
The closest thing to perfect
But the farthest thing from me

I'd love to be
The shoulder that you cry on
I'd love to be
The friend you call when things are great

I'd love to be
The shoulder that you cry on
I'd love to be
The friend you call when things are great

And like I really deserve a chance to
Sit across the table
And tell you that I think you're wonderful
And I think you're something special

I guess this is my only chance to
Say I wish I knew you
Because I'm sure you're wonderful
If I'd get to know you


3.Duane Joseph

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar

Tell your mom you need a day off
So we can play out in the rain
We'll catch a ride to the mall
Go down to the arcade
'Cause that's where all the cool kids play

Tell your mom you need a day off
'Cause I don't feel like school today
We'll ride our boards down the hill
And to the playground
Where everything's okay

Tell your mom we will be home late
'Cause building cabins in the woods is hard work

You always know that I'll be there
'Cause I'm the type and you'll be near
My closest friend, we'll always be
You are a hometown kid like me

Tell your mom to make us lunch now
'Cause we worked up an appetite
G.I. Joes and karate
Matches in the back yard
Where everything's alright

Now I can see that things have changed
We've gone our separate ways now
And it's not you and me
Anymore
Whoa

Why can't it be the way it was
When they were us
My closest friends have turned and fled
You are a million miles away

And I guess I'll hold my breath
There is no harm for hoping for change
And I guess I'll hold my breath
There is no harm in hoping for change

And I guess I'll hold my breath
There is no harm in hoping for change
And I guess I'll hold my breath


4.Constellation

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar

Some things can never be explained
Why every sky still looks the same
And I wonder how my world would look without you

Some things can never be explained
Like how our skies remain the same
And I wonder how the sky would look without my star

Sleep seems a dream away and a year too late
Words that can't be spoken stream out my face
And I want to be selfish, I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish, you're my everything

Some things can never be explained
Why does your love remain unchanged?
'Cause I know it wouldn't be the same without you

Sleep seems a dream away and a year too late
Words that can't be spoken stream out your face
And I want to be selfish, I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish, you're my everything

Please don't forget my name
And take me with you when you leave
I've got a lot to lose, I've got to let it go

Please don't forget my name
Please don't forget my name
Please don't forget my name


5.Music Box Superhero

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fiedler, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

You'd like to think I have it easy
At times I think your right but then
Take a look around and see your eyes on me
At times I think I have it easy
Until I close my eyes
And see this life in my box
Lets you turn the key
When you wanna hear a melody
And I can never be the apple of your eye
The story of your life is whats inside
I go through stages when I feel this matters
This song and dance is a way of life for me
(Resting for a while)

You like to think I have it easy
At times I think ive got it easy but then
I look around and see
The grass is always greener on the other side
On the other side
On the other side

This life in this box lets you turn the key
When you wanna hear a melody
But I can never be the apple of your eye
The story of your life is whats inside
And I can never be the one who saves your day
Well im just the man in the music box
Its nothing special
Its nothing special
Its nothing special
(I'm just the man in the music box)
Music box superhero
And I will never be
And I will never be (your superhero)

And I will never be (your superhero)
And I will never be (your superhero)
And I will never be (your superhero)


6.Seven Forty Seven

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fielder, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

Autumn came and left the summer sun behind us with our thoughts
When it stops raining I think I'll take a walk to your house
And if we ever get the chance to set a date
I think I'll take you on the next plane

Won't you come and take a holiday with me
I've asked you twice before, will this be the time you finally
say yes to me
I've asked you times before, this is the last
I've asked you times before, won't you come and take a holiday
with me?

Please say yes, won't you come with me?
There's things to see
Won't you come and take a holiday with me
I can take you, I can't make you


7.Show Me The Money

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fiedler, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

I thought about what you said
It's not your money
That I really want and I don't care


8.P.S. We'll Call You When We Get There

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fielder, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

Looking back, a lot has changed
We never thought there'd come a day
When everything we used to live for
Everything we did and everything we said
Could be away

Now we're left holding onto dreams
Two small town kids, we're gonna get them
Now it's time, I see those city lights
I think it's time, time to go

And we'll come back home
When we hit the big time
And we'll come back someday
And we'll come back home
When we hit the big time
Yeah, we'll come back
Yeah, we'll come back


9.For Evangeline

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Joshua N Fiedler, Neil Richard Hebrank,
Jeremiah David Momper, Chad Alan Monticue

In one night you made me your own
In one night you made me your own
In one night you made me your own

The deepest embrace's creation
In one night
The deepest embrace's creation
In one night
The deepest embrace's creation
In one night

I layed there for days and you forgot
I layed there for days and you forgot
I layed there for days and you forgot
I layed there for days and you forgot

In one night you made me your own
In one hour you gave me away to the angels
In one night you made me your own
In one hour you gave me away
In one night you made me your own
In one hour you gave me away

You gave me away to the angels
You sent me up to the sky, now their wings fan the heat
From the face you'll never touch, the hair you'll never smell
The little hands you'll never hold
Hands you'll hold now

Now I am just a silhouette down there
Now I am just a silhouette down there
Now I am just a silhouette down there
Now I am just a silhouette down there

Now I am just a silhouette down there
Now I am just a silhouette down there
Now I am just a silhouette down there
Now I am just a silhouette down there


10.This Is Not A Love Song

Lyricist:Brett Andrew Detar, Jeremiah David Momper

The time is 2:22 and I hope your wish comes true
But you say I'll know before you do
And I hope you're right
Why can we talk this way we always speak

When you're so far away
And I'm sitting right here
It's 10:00 o'clock your time
And it's 1 by mine

And I often wonder
Why you even care
Do you ever wonder, ever wonder why
We met here

The time is 2:22 and I hope my wish comes true
And I think I'll know just when you do
And I hope I do
Maybe this is just what I need

And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm wrong

And you're so far away
And I'm sitting right here
It's 10:00 o'clock your time
And it's 1 by mine
