Yes, my mind was wand'ring but it's not just what it seems
Something you might say, and off I go into my dreams
Yes, I guess I lost you when I went around that cloud
Hold me down, I'm Dreaming Out Loud
Some things could be easier if you would understand
All that I can be is just exactly what I am
Try all day to change me, but I'm not much like the crowd
You'll still find me Dreaming Out Loud
Down into some day dream - Up around some rainbow cloud
If I say the wrong thing - Guess that I was Dreaming Out Loud
Don't you think I know it's not a contest or a game
Knowing me, you had to know the rules were not the same
I don't care much when they say what's wrong or not allowed
I'll just go on Dreaming Out Loud
Down into some day dream - Up around some rainbow cloud
If I fly the wrong way - Guess that I was Dreaming Out Loud
Never mean to hurt you with the things I do or say
Turn the clock back, mostly I would be the same old way
I never did and never will forget the things we vowed
Even when I'm Dreaming Out Loud
Come in and listen to my dreams
Where nothing's ever what it seems
Where I'll be flying without wings
Just like it always feels to sing
Down into some day dream - Up around some rainbow cloud
If I sing the wrong song - Guess that I was Dreaming Out Loud
I know nothing's perfect, I just want to make a plan
I'll take you for what you are, you take me like I am
Maybe it could never work because we're both too proud
Still I can't help Dreaming Out Loud
Guess that I was Dreaming Out Loud
