Name: Someone to Dream Tonight
Duration: P00H03M44S
Description: I think I wrote this song around 2006, maybe early autumn. It debuted around the second month Bjerke hosted his open mic at that dive on Route One. I'm not sure I've thought of it since, consciously, but all this year I've been working on a song that's really a response to this one, so I thought it was appropriate to put the two of them up together.

I think I wrote this song around 2006, maybe early autumn. It debuted around the second month Bjerke hosted his open mic at that dive on Route One. I'm not sure I've thought of it since, consciously, but all this year I've been working on a song that's really a response to this one, so I thought it was appropriate to put the two of them up together.

lyrics

you tell me that you gave up smoking same time you gave up dishonest men
I promised you you'd ask me for a cigarette next time I saw you again
I just want something special. I just want something right.
Want something that will last forever and I want someone to dream tonight.
Want someone a bit like you, and I want someone like her
I want someone who wants someone who's someone I wish I were
and I wish that I could warn you that I'm not all I try to be
but I can't seem to get you alone for one single moment away from me.
so I'll wish for the best and shut up for this dance
and wonder at the differance between a heart and pants.
you tell me that you gave up smoking same time you gave up dishonest men
I promised you you'd ask me for a cigarette next time I saw you again
I just want something special. I just want something right.
Want something that will last forever. I want it to start last night.
