    Introspective, acoustic song surrounded by a quasi-hip hop backbeat. Or something. If you're depressed, this song won't cheer you up. If you're happy, this song will hopefully bring you down. Enjoy!!!

    Story Behind the Song
    I began writing the lyrics to this song in 1998, and probably finished them in early 2000. Some songs are like that. As thrilling as it is to sit down and write a song in 10 or 15 minutes, I tend to think my better songs are ones that are started at one point in my life, and then completed at another point. "Your Special Day" was like that, and a song called "Slow Motion" that will be on the next album was like that. As was "I Know About Dreams."

    You'll start writing something, but for whatever reason, you just can't finish it - and you're really not sure why. Then maybe weeks, months, even years later, you finally have the experience to finish the song. It definitely makes you feel as if there was a "higher" reason for writing that particular song. Even incomplete, the song remains with you - as if saying, "Go do your thing, I'll be waiting over here for when you're ready." Hmm...well, that's one weird way to look at it.

    So, "I Know About Dreams" is about acknowledging your limitations and acknowledging the fact that your dreams may not come true, but not letting that stop your actions and your attitude about life.

    Lyrics
    If my life was a novel,
    Id have trouble with Chapter One
    Chapter Three would be ok,
    but the rest would never come
    If my life was a movie,
    Id be an extra in an epic
    Maybe shout out a few lines,
    if things got too hectic

    If my life was a feather,
    it would float along the seas,
    Settle on a desert island,
    at least thats where I hope it would be
    If my life were a sunrise,
    it would brighten all your days,
    It would remain with you forever,
    or until I could take you away

    I know about dreams

    If my life were a song,
    it would probably be so off-key
    Id surely miss a few words,
    and forget the melody
    If my life were a painting,
    all the colors would bleed
    Into one another,
    distorting what the whole world sees

    If my life were the ocean,
    it would long to be a sea
    Maybe a lake or a pond
    or a river or a stream
    If my life were the sky,
    it would lay wide open just for you
    It would beg for you to fly,
    it would forever remain blue

    I know about dreams

    I know about dreams,
    I know about fantasies
    I know about you,
    youre yet to learn about me
    I know about dreams,
    I know about fantasies
    I try to focus on you,
    your eyes stare straight past me
    I know about dreams,
    I know about fantasies
    I know about you,
    youd best not learn about me
    I know about dreams,
    I know about fantasies
    I try to reach out for you,
    but you just drift away from me
