==Overview==
Rivers Cuomo is known to have written the song "Dreamin'" in 2007, mentioning in the liner notes for the 2007 compilation Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo that he had written a "6-minute symphonic type of art song" titled "Daydreamer" for Weezer's then-forthcoming sixth album. Cuomo listed "Daydreamer" on a spreadsheet of his "4 and 5-star demos" in 2008. This demo would not be released until 2020, when it was included as part of the digital compilation Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years.
"Dreamin'" was the fourth song from The Red Album to be released on iTunes prior to the album release. "Everybody Get Dangerous" faded into "Dreamin'" on some advance copies of the album, but not on the final retail release.
The song was made available as a downloadable track for the rhythm video game Rock Band on June 28, 2008.

I'm dreamin' in the mornin'
I'm dreamin' all through the night
And when I'm dreamin' I know that it's all right
I'm dreamin' in the evening
I'm dreamin' all through the day
And when I'm dreamin' I know that it's okay
Daddy says I gotta pay some bills
So I can learn to be responsible
Someday I'll have a family of my own
And they will need for me to be full grown
But I'm dreamin' in the mornin'
I'm dreamin' all through the night
When I'm dreamin' I know that it's all right
I'm dreamin' in the evening
I'm dreamin' all through the day
And when I'm dreamin' I know that it's okay
Teacher says I gotta learn some facts
So I can make it in the Widener stacks
These are the days that will define my life
I shouldn't waste 'em on these friends of mine
But oh, I gotta' be a big boy ('Cause I really want a chance)
Whoa, I gotta' pick up my toys ('Cause I really want a chance)
When I start to feel the feeling comin' over me (I really want a chance)
I soon forget all about responsibility (I really want a chance)
I walk around in a wide-awake daydream (I really want a chance)
Things are better out here than they might seem
There are blue birds in the meadow
And the bees are flying around
And the goslings at the river
Paddle out so far from the ground
I am running through the meadow
And the sun is shining on me
I am singing, my voice is ringing
I can sing so loud
And the angels in the heavens
They are wondering (They are wondering at me)
Why am I so glad?
Why am I so glad?
Why am I so?
Why am I so?
I am running through the meadow
And the sun is shining on me
I am singing, my voice is ringing
I can sing so loud
And I'm dreamin' in the mornin'
I'm dreamin' all through the night
And when I'm dreamin' I know that it's all right
Dreamin' in the evening (I'm dreaming all my life away)
I'm dreamin' all through the day (I dream all day)
And when I'm dreamin' I know that it's okay
I don't wanna get with your program
I don't wanna get with your program
I don't wanna get with your program
Take back the love
