Wild Nothing - Live In Dreams Lyrics






Sitting on the cigarette butt front porch
I could ask you "are you dead like me?"
Call me what you will, but call me again
It's true I don't talk too much

Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

Pretty face could you make the jump with me?
I'm dying just to let things go
Do you remember the lightening storm?
It was the first time that I really felt you

Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
Because our lips won't last forever
And that's exactly why
I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads
We've got eyes on the back of our heads

    Sitting on the cigarette butt front porch
    I could ask you "are you dead like me?"
    Call me what you will, but call me again
    It's true I don't talk too much

    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

    Pretty face could you make the jump with me?
    I'm dying just to let things go
    Do you remember the lightening storm?
    It was the first time that I really felt you

    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

    We've got eyes on the back of our heads
    We've got eyes on the back of our heads
    We've got eyes on the back of our heads
    We've got eyes on the back of our heads

    Like si estas aquí por el Hobbit, digo Migala XD

  3. a.... ....

    THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL.

  4. A.... ....

    This song, and actually the whole album, takes me back to those evening drives in the summer... those carefree days where I wasn't plagued by anxiety. It felt so simple back then.
    I never really thought about the lyrics until I was reminded of them from what my friend said. That his ideals will never be real, that perfection is unattainable, so all he can do is dream and wait until he dies. It feels a lot more visceral now listening to this song and being reminded of what he goes through. Fuck depression man.

  5. S.... M....

    Damn dude this was my shit when I was in 8th grade time flys I’m like bout to be 20 wtf

  6. K.... L....

    "because my lips won't last forever and that's exactly why I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die..."

    probably my favourite melancholy lyric from Wild Nothing

  7. A.... ....

    one of the best indie song

  8. D.... F....

    I actually find this song to be about a quiet person trying to break out of their shell but not quite knowing how as it's not something they are used to doing. Adlib. The hushed, shy singing and evasive yet ambiguous lyrics.

  9. b.... ....

    This is simultaneously one of the happiest songs and saddest songs ever.

  10. J.... ....

    I rather live in dreams. This song is simply great

  11. a.... m....

    2:00
    I've fall inlove.

  12. r.... ....

    sandra mi único amor real <3

  13. R.... G....

    This reminds me of Belle&Sebastian. It's lovely.

  14. A.... M....

    2017 .Still love this song (and the whole álbum)

  15. H.... B....

    2017 :)

  16. F.... ....

    Qu'est-ce qu'elle peut m'obséder cette chanson.. I love

  17. j.... k....

    Sitting on the cigarette butt front porch

    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

    We've got eyes on the back of our heads

  18. m.... i....

    Fuck, the nostalgia from this song makes me tear up, I feel like this is what it would sound like being in bed on a warm summer night with the window open and feeling the breeze brush onto your feet

  19. K.... T....

    You search for something your whole life for something that last for ever you find it in permanent sleep. I seek this. I just wish i could see more of the world so had something i could talk about to myself. <3

  20. J.... Q....

    letra tan depresiva que solo me hace pensar y volver a tiempos mejores, que recuerdos y experiencias recuerdo escuchando esta cancion .

  21. P.... F....

    This music makes me want to be immortal.

    P.... F....

    "I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die"

  22. P.... ....

    r u dead like me m8

  23. N.... G....

    This song always reminds of the times I started smoking weed with an old friend.
    The joys of being stoned at the age of 16-18.
    Never gonna enjoy weed the same I did those years..

    N.... G....

    Dude. I know that feel.. Nowadays I just cant seem to enjoy getting high anymore. Nothing like back in the day. Maybe that turned out well though.

    N.... G....

    I think it's mostly related to age. I had a lot less to worry about back then. My parents haven't found out about me smoking either which really destroyed my ability to enjoy weed because they would keep me under constant monitoring. I started to get paranoid as shit and that slowly turned into me not enjoying it at all.

    N.... G....

    @Neon Green I can totally relate. Weed makes me think too much now

  24. p.... ....

    You guys missed "your rabbit feet" from wild nothing

  25. H.... B....

    2016 :)

  26. A.... C....

    Ese momento que te das cuenta que tu vida va a cambiar ... :)

    A.... C....

    Y sera divertida

    A.... C....

    Analucia Castillo pienso tango en eso pero mi vida sigue igual de mierda que siempre. . .

  27. P.... ....

    Amazing song!

  28. R.... ....

    A song filled with memories for me. Makes my eyes watery just be listening to it. Brings up a feeling of lost times, of times that I didn't appreciate enough at the time. Reminds me of a person that I love/d so dearly. This song bares with it a feeling of beginning but also an end. A bittersweet nostalgia.

    R.... ....

    Rup23 same

    R.... ....

    I feel that

    R.... ....

    Same crying while writing this

  29. F.... D....

    My ex boyfriend who will forever remain in my heart showed me this song years ago although we cannot be together he was my first true young love

    F.... D....

    Hello!😊 May i just say that your message touch my heart!. I so wish the up most very best for you in life!😊 your a precious lady!😊

    F.... D....

    message him

    F.... D....

    somethings aren't meant to last :\

    F.... D....

    I know right!☺

    F.... D....

    Get back with him, for true love won’t die...

  30. I.... D....

    This song always reminds me of a trip with all of my friends. I used to walk along the ocean and just listen to this song. Whenever I listen to this song, I close my eyes, and I see all my friends, my ex girlfriend and the ocean. This is why I love this song. It just gives me all these feelings back

    I.... D....

    What kind of ''trip''?

    I.... D....

    We all finished school (here it is called "Abitur" and with here i mean Germany) and after that all people who finished school in that year would make a trip together before they would all go their seperate ways and go to different universities. We went to Denmark and rented some houses there. it was awesome.

    I guess this wasnt the "trip" you expected :P

    I.... D....

    Underrated comment

    I.... D....

    I love the images your comment creates. It fits the song.

  31. A.... R....

    How are you not here

  32. a.... ....

    total time and place record for me. brings back a lot of realness.

  33. K.... A....

    This was their best album no contest. Some of the vocals on the tracks were impeccable.

  34. S.... S....

    I love the soothing and hypnotic tone in many of their songs- does anyone know any similar bands?

    S.... S....

    +Saneea S Washed Out is really cool, School of Seven Bells (new lp in late february)
    School of Seven Bells were a duo and Benjamin Curtis died of Cancer in his 30s just 2 years ago... the only other member singer Alejandra Deheza completed the new album with works already recorded by Curtis during his last months and it took then 2 years to complete this new and probably last ever School of Seven Bells album...
    A great band who left the scene with that unexpected last gift...
    Ballet School & Alvvays are two other names (among many other as much interesting bands...) a bit different but as good

    S.... S....

    +Saneea S tame impala

    S.... S....

    +Saneea S Ariel Pink

    S.... S....

    +Saneea S Try Acid House Kings. Don't let the name fool you.

    S.... S....

    Real Estate, DIIV, Beach Fossils.
    Check them out, really. It is totally worth your time if you are into Wild Nothing.

  35. D.... H....

    Uno de los mejores tracks q escuché. Al parecer llegarán a Perú. Saludos,

  36. n.... s....

    great work!

  37. P.... C....

    Sounds like 'Felt', back from the yester-years of great 80s music.  Really relaxing, beach feel, but harkens back to the Smiths early work as well.  Still has a place in New Wave revival, but I think this goes beyond that.  

    It's pretty and lush and cool.  I get it, and like it, and that's all that matters.

  38. a.... ....

    the clip of the mother and son running towards the beach in the beginning hits me right in the feels ;_;

  39. A.... B....

    lyrics:

    Sitting on the cigarette butt front porch
    I could ask you "are you dead like me?"
    Call me what you will, but call me again
    It's true I don't talk too much

    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

    Pretty face could you make the jump with me?
    I'm dying just to let things go
    Do you remember the lightening storm?
    It was the first time that I really felt you

    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die

    We've got eyes on the back of our heads
    We've got eyes on the back of our heads
    We've got eyes on the back of our heads
    We've got eyes on the back of our heads

  40. D.... ....

    They do a amazing job with the music videos

  41. L.... G....

    depressing lyrics make me happy for some reason, it makes me get rid of all the pain i have deep inside. I love this song, makes me appreciate life more 

    L.... G....

    Thought I was the only one who liked depressing lyrics.

    L.... G....

    @Cold Cutters Guys I read a study showed sad music helps against depression. Explained a lot to me, but I always knew for myself though.

    L.... G....

    @Billie Holiday Then we're few of the happiest people on earth.

  42. g.... m....

    my favorite from the wn

  43. E.... K....

    this is the best song for an alarm slowly welcoming you to the day whilst being completely to the contrary lyrically lol

    E.... K....

    Actually I'd probably just wake up and immediately go back to my dreamland
    haa

    E.... K....

    Funny you say that cuz I have it as my alarm for a while now.

    E.... K....

    I'd die in deep sleep.

    E.... K....

    Emily Kearns So true.

  44. J.... W....

    e e e sca

  45. D.... K....

    Please go to my profile and check out my cover of this wonderful song, would mean so much to me.

  46. j.... z....

    The Smiths is premier! That's top of the first division, but please don't compare with the sacred The Smiths

  47. R.... C....

    You know that kind of songs that, although the lyrics are really sad, like this one, that simply doesnt matter because the song itself is so damn good and awesome that, everytime you hear it, it puts you in such a fantastic mood, and it makes you want to sing along and dance around like a crazy fool? There are some songs like that, but this one is the ultimate example! Im completely obsessed with it. Absolutely LOVE it. It cheers me up...A LOT. Definitely one of my favorites songs of all time.

  48. T.... ....

    :) I was thinking The Cure mixed with Echo and the Bunnymen... but I agree The Smiths is more like it!

  49. q.... ....

    just awesome!!!:D

  50. D.... R....

    craft spells will shit all over them

  51. D.... R....

    wild nothing sucks ass

  52. K.... T....

    "unfortunately"? explain yourself good sir!

  53. A.... -....

    I live in dreams when i listen WN

  54. A.... W....

    this rules!

  55. c.... g....

    i love this song! it makes me sad at times, but it makes me remember my cousin. i miss u bro! :'( rest in peace

  56. m.... C....

    bit of Shins too, unfortunately

  57. i.... ....

    i actuallly do this all the time but it doesn't feel good. i tend to live in dreams quite literally. i wake up from a dream when i've already had enough sleep, i get up, take a piss but then just end up really wanting to get to experience the rest of that dream so i go back to bad, experience the rest of the dream, wake up hours later in the evening and realize that i've wasted a whole day of my life for a dream. i hate myself so much every time that i do this.

  58. A.... -....

    harikasın

  59. I.... M....

    great song

  60. i.... ....

    im sure it could..

  61. T.... ....

    There is a distinct beauty in reality and imagination. Something where I cannot live in only one without the other. Oh music...why are you...something I cannot hold close to my arms? Someone I cannot skip with down the street into the bakery? ahhh~

    music, what you always do, to me~

  62. T.... ....

    <:) live in dreams is what I already do. Though sometimes I feel like reality, life is passing by. Though I can't take it back now. 6 years of dreaming. thousands of sunrises and sunsets gone, doors left completely unopened, all because I'd rather dream my life away. Though my goal is to be 100% in both.To satisy my dreaming mind, and my real body, the body of mine aware of everything, how coffee smells when it's burnt, or how the winter feels when you forgot your scarf and hands.Cutting through

  63. c.... g....

    man i love this song! this is how i feel.

  64. T.... B....

    Really cool vibe.. liking it..

  65. s.... ....

    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die
    Because our lips won't last forever
    And that's exactly why
    I'd rather live in dreams and I'd rather die....
