(Intro) (A soft, shimmering synth pad fades in. A simple, groovy bassline starts.) (Spoken, with a dreamy sigh) Oh, there I go again... (Verse 1) Sitting on the morning train Staring out the window at the pouring rain I see a stranger with a book and messy hair And suddenly, I'm floating on the air, I swear. (Pre-Chorus) A hopeless romantic with a lonely heart I'm always playing out the perfect part I give my love away a little bit too soon To just a silhouette beneath the afternoon. (Chorus) (The beat kicks in, full but still gentle and groovy.) Oh, I'm daydreaming again, falling for a ghost Just a pretty, perfect stranger that I want the most But I know it's just a story in my head Replaying all the lines I wish I'd said I'm looking for a real love, gotta give it one more try Instead of watching all the good ones pass me by. (Post-Chorus) (The music is simple, focusing on a catchy vocal melody.) Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do Daydreaming again Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do Oh, when will it end? (Verse 2) Heard you order coffee, black and sweet Tapping out a rhythm with your feet In my mind, we're dancing in the street Oh, this silly fantasy is so bittersweet. (Pre-Chorus) A hopeless romantic with a lonely heart I'm always playing out the perfect part I give my love away a little bit too soon To just a silhouette beneath the afternoon. (Chorus) (The chorus feels a little more hopeful this time, with more harmonies.) Oh, I'm daydreaming again, falling for a ghost Just a pretty, perfect stranger that I want the most But I know it's just a story in my head Replaying all the lines I wish I'd said I'm looking for a real love, gotta give it one more try Instead of watching all the good ones pass me by. (Bridge) (The beat softens, the mood becomes more intimate and sincere.) I'm getting tired of these movies in my head Of all the conversations never said I'm holding out for a feeling that is true... Maybe this time, that feeling could be with you? (Chorus) (The chorus comes back one last time, but it's softer, fading out into the post-chorus hook.) Oh, I'm daydreaming again, falling for a ghost Just a pretty, perfect stranger that I want the most But I know it's just a story in my head Replaying all the lines I wish I'd said I'm looking for a real love, gotta give it one more try Instead of watching all the good ones pass me by. (Outro) I'm looking for a real love, gotta give it one more try... Instead of watching all the good ones pass me by... Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do Daydreaming again... Do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do Oh, when will it end? (Music fades out on the synth pads.)
