Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a letter my sister wrote to her boyfriend when she was young. She wrote that she'd had a dream and they were traveling all over the world. Soon after that she got a job with TWA (Trans World Airlines) married the boy, and they did travel all over the world together.

Song Description

A youthful, feel-good song with a catchy chorus, driving rhythm, and fun lyrical and musical motifs conveying the excitement of new love and anticipation of adventures ahead. Verse 1 is the dream, and travel is the metaphor for a life together in love. Banjo and accordion add a fun, current indie-edge to the foundation of guitars, bass, and drums.

Lyrics

DREAM LAST NIGHT

HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD

SITTIN' IN A CROWDED CAFE
GETTIN' KINDA CARRIED AWAY
ON A MAGIC CARPET
NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHERE WE ARE
FLYIN' AND WISHIN' ON STARS
WONDER WHAT WE STARTED

THE WIND IN YOUR HAIR, WE'RE A LITTLE BIT SCARED
BUT READY FOR ANYTHING
NO PLACE ON EARTH WE CANNOT GO
TWO DREAMERS ON A SPINNING GLOBE

HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD

GOIN' WHERE I'VE NEVER GONE BEFORE
ANOTHER WONDER THROUGH EVERY DOOR
YOU'RE GIVIN' ME A TASTE OF LOVE
EVERYTHING LOOKS BRIGHTER TO ME
I DON'T KNOW MAYBE I'M STILL ASLEEP
HOPE I NEVER WAKE UP

THE WIND IN YOUR HAIR, A LOT OF LOVE EVERYWHERE
WE CAN DO ANYTHING
NO PLACE ON EARTH WE CANNOT GO
TWO DREAMERS ON A SPINNING GLOBE

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
HEY BABE I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
YEAH WE WERE TRAVELIN' TRAVELIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD
