LYRICS

PictureHere I am at 18 with my first guitar. My cousin Jessica and I are having some fun co-writing some lyrics.

I started writing music when I received my first guitar for my 18th birthday. I remember locking myself in my room for hours, marveling at the works of other singer-songwriters I had so dearly looked up to. Some of my favorites were Jewel, Michelle Branch, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple and Lisa Loeb. The list is actually pretty endless, but these were the poetic women who really shaped my love for writing in the lyrical style. Most of my songs, I played around the NJ Acoustic Open Mic circuit, and I was even fortunate enough to have been able to record a few songs  or “excerpts” of this life of mine. I hope you enjoy reading through these, as much as I did creating them.

ABOUT THE SONG 
So this song I wrote awhile in 2008 or so, and played it live a couple times. The basic concept of the song is kind of about having a falling out with someone and then having continuous dreams about them, but in the dream everything between you two is perfectly fine. And the song is saying that you don’t want to stop dreaming because in that world, that is the only time when everything is ok, and you just want things to go back to that. The sound of this song was inspired by Plumb.

​In 2012 I got together with New Jersey based Producer, Rohan Sukhdeo and we reworked the song to fit more of a pop vibe, because my original scratch demo was a lot more folky, as most of my acoustic demos are. It was upon working with Rohan, that I also added a bridge which my original version did not have. You can hear my pop version here!

Verse 1:
I pay the time to pass me by
Ridding the nightmares of my mind
I’m half sick of shadows all the time
I wanna rise above the light
In your eyes you hold me
I wanna go where wrongs are right
I wanna fix the story
Don’t wanna wake during the night
To realize that you’re not waking life
Cuz my dreams they’ve sold me

Chorus:
If I’m dreaming
Please don’t wake me cause
The only place I feel your love
Is in my Dreamworld baby

Verse 2:
My Imagination’s full of life
Savoring every moment
Don’t wanna be plagued by denial
Reality is so unkind
When I’m awake and lonely

Chorus:
If I’m dreaming
Please don’t wake me cause
The only place I feel your love
Is in my Dreamworld baby
If I’m fallin
please don’t shake me cuz
The only place I feel your touch
is in my Dreamworld baby

Bridge:

And as I’m waking up and I feel so empty inside
I just close my eyes
When you take me to that place where everything feels
Alive…

Chorus:
If I’m dreaming
Please don’t wake me cause
The only place I feel your love
Is in my Dreamworld baby

If I’m fallin
please don’t shake me cuz
The only place I feel your touch
is in my Dreamworld baby

If I’m dreaming
Please don’t wake me cause
The only place I feel your love
Is in my Dreamworld baby

​In My Dreamworld Baby Yea
In My Dreamworld Baby…
