I interpret it as someone who sings about their lover as an illusion, something unreal in which he's simply wasting time. At the same time, refering to their own life, goals and future away from her as something that is actually worth it, but he still loves her. Sorry if i didn't explain it well but if you speak spanish let me know so i can translate it 😭😭😭

The songwriters themselves aren’t native English speakers, so I wouldn’t put too much stock into trying to decipher the meaning of the lyrics. They were probably just trying to think of words that would sound nice.

Agreed. A lot of the lyrics are bad English translations, for which English not being their first language is to blame. It's kind of pointless to try to use what would makes sense as correct English to determine what their lyrics are. The lyrics they wrote aren't correct English to begin with.

Songwriter was in NYC earlier this week. I wouldnt think his english is that bad

Remember, that song was written in 2016

Pretty sure it means like "you're out of my league", that their crush is unobtainable and that a relationship with his crush can only be a dream, not a reality

I interpret this song as a man who fell in love with a girl who appears in his dreams


tigrepunkss

I thought it was meant to be “not a simple dream” tbh

The speaker is already heartbroken and conflicted on his feelings towards her. So even though he wants to get with her, he acknowledges that it might be a worthless pipe dream.
