This Must Be My Dream

## *I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it* chronology

**"This Must Be My Dream"** is the fourteenth track on The 1975's second studio album, *I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it*.

## Background

Conversely, "This Must Be My Dream" starts off positive, with Matty finding a girl who’ll “rearrange my world” before it all goes sour. “I thought it wasn’t love,” he sighs at one point, realising he was wrong, but it’s too late . A sparkling melody elevates everything to despondent new heights, while another caramel sax solo slaps a whole load of sophistication onto Matty’s misfortune.

## Lyrics

I personify the 'adolescent on a phone'
Speaking like I’m bigger than my body
I personify that lack of freedom in your life
And I'm sure that she'll be gone in a second

Let me tell you 'bout this girl
I think that she'd rearrange my world
Takes a particular type of girl
To put my heart under arrest
So why is this beating on my chest? Hey!

(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby

Pipe down, you're no lover
It's failing 'cause you want it to
Well, I thought it was love but I guess I must be dreaming
'Bout feeling something instead of you

"What did I tell you 'bout this girl?"
The one to rearrange your world?
You got excited and now you find out that your 'girl'
Won't even get you undressed
Or care about your beating chest, hey

(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby

(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby

(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby

(This must be my dream)
Wide awake before I found you
(This must be my dream)
I can't wait for you boy
(Wake me from my dream)
What does all our love amount to?
(This must be my dream)
We can't make love when you fly around me baby
