Last night when I was sleeping... with you It felt like heaven opened up before us And you were there, so real, right in front of me I could almost feel your red hair brush on me I see both of us vividly, you're here intertwined with me Carried away blissfully... dreamin of you God, it got me feelin sublime, and I want it all the time I got you all over me... dreamin of you I got my own issues, and I know that you have yours, too You got 20 problems, and I could have my 20, too Mmm... what a catch, really, gotta hand it to you But I don't think your boo do it for you the way that I could I could take you to the tropic, make you feel exotic Fly you like a plane, and motherfuckin drop it You'll be callin out my name, and I could fuckin stop it But I never won't leave you 'cause you're my weakness and my target Thank the Universe, or Somethin I can't fathom For makin you so cute, and I really love your laugh and Wanna treat you to a coffee, tell me what you havin Never thought I'd be so shook somebody named... trouble Thought I'd really say it loud and burst out of my bubble? Thinkin need some scope, and I ain't talkin bout no Hubble I'm not going round, tellin all my secrets 'Cause if it got to you then we prolly won't be speakin Mmm... you prolly kept me from goin off the deep end So I'll keep it to myself, and I'll see you in my dreamin I see both of us vividly, you're here intertwined with me Carried away blissfully... dreamin of you God, it got me feelin sublime, and I want it all the time I got you all over me... dreamin of you You got that good shit - and I don't think you know it Cause if you were on it then you'd know how to own it Call me on the phone, and give a dog a bone Ring on this finger, and then populate this home I'm talkin eventually, because you and me Could possibly do it I see both of us vividly, you're here intertwined with me Carried away blissfully... dreamin of you God, it got me feelin sublime, and I want it all the time I got you all over me... dreamin of you

I guess you wonder where I've been I searched to find a love within I came back to let you know Got a thing for you and I can't let go My friends wonder what is wrong with me Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see I came back to let you know Got a thing for you and I can't let go Some people go around the world for love But they may never find what they dream of What you won't do, do for love You've tried everything but you don't give up And in my world, it's only you Make me do for love what I would not do I guess you wonder where I've been I searched to find a love within I came back to let you know Got a thing for you and I can't let go My friends wonder what is wrong with me Said I'm in a daze from your love, you see And I came back to let you know Got a thing for you and I can't let go But then I only want the best, it's true I can't believe the things I would do for you What you won't do, do for love You've tried everything and you won't give up And in my world, only you make me do for love what I would not do Make me do for love what I would not do Make me do for love what I would not do Make me do for love...

about

When I wrote "dreamin." at the tail end of 2018, I thought of it like a fine R&B wine. It needed to settle and age nearly a year, and needed a perfect musical companion, which came in the form of a cover of the Bobby Caldwell song "what you won't do for love..." The song and the cover opened itself up thematically to all the stupid things we've all done for love. I may have intended this on an album at one point in my life, but it works well as a standalone 10-minute R&B ballad. Make sure you listen all the way through both tracks!
