Benjamin Gibbard - Dream Song Lyrics






He's been waking all through the night
And pacing 'round in the moonlight
'Cause these same dreams won't let him be
Their cameras photograph everything
That he's been burying down beneath
And show him what he don't wanna see

He counts the hours creeping by
His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide
Tossing and turning through the night every night

He has this one where he's being pursued
by every woman he ever knew
And at first grasp he wakes in gasps
He watches her laying there sound asleep
And wonders who's chasing her through her dreams
And when they do if it scares her too

He counts the hours creeping by
His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide
Tossing and turning through the night every night
And oh how he needs to get some sleep
But who waits down there so deep
Leaves him shaking at the knees

Oh

He counts the hours creeping by
His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide
Tossing and turning through the night every night
And oh how he needs to get some sleep
But who waits down there so deep
Leaves him shaking at the knees

    Was this song intended to propagandize polyamory? Either way, here's some actual polyamory propaganda for y'all:

    http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/8455

    A Dangerous Thought Experiment by Richard Carrier:

    "Imagine the entire world removed all barriers to polyamory. No cultural
    shaming or punishing or wheedling will ensue. No guilt has been imbued
    in anyone. Imagine then everyone telling their monogamous partners (and
    honestly meaning what they say) that they will neither punish them nor
    abandon them if they explore other relationships on the side, that they
    will still love them and respect and admire them and be there for
    them—as long as, let’s say, their partner gives them only the majority of them and their time and resources. If this happened, how many people do you think would abandon monogamy? Answer honestly."

  5. X.... ....

    this song is just perfect :) <3

  6. B.... R....

    I loved the Postal Service, immensely enjoyed Death Cab, but I am utterly ballistic about Ben by himself. BY FAR, better than his other works.

  7. M.... R....

    i love this sidebar adventures!

  8. S.... R....

    He didn't. He said he just wanted to make a separate album with songs he wrote that didn't fit into the other albums.

  9. A.... D....

    grad auf on3-radio entdeckt. toller song. :)

  10. x.... ....

    This song is orgasmic...

  11. h.... ....

    I feel bad for all the people of the world that haven't heard of this guy yet.

  12. 3.... ....

    He's not completely solo. The music he puts on his albums are songs he thinks aren't "Death Cab" songs.

  13. B.... J....

    Why did he go solo?

  14. i.... ....

    his set on Morning Becomes Eclectic today was amazing

  15. d.... ....

    unbelievable. AMAZING.

  16. A.... Y....

    you can't waste a dream, but life wastes itself easily

    My favorite song on the new album

  18. S.... S....

  19. C.... G....

    Really Great Song. I enjoined every Second !

  20. D.... F....

    Well gosh if Ron Burgundy says so it must be true...

  21. R.... B....

    You should embrace your insomnia, you get to experience a lot more life than what most of us waste away.

  22. D.... F....

    Fell in love with this song when I heard it. It was about 3 am, I had my radio on as I tried to deal with another long night of insomnia. Was pretty great.

  23. I.... ....

    Quite different from Death Cab and the Postal Service, but i still love it :D
