# THAT DREAM [Intro: 82 BPM, dusty trip-hop drums barely audible, vinyl texture, warm Rhodes playing minor 9th chords, deep sub-bass pulse, distant reversed guitar, long uncomfortable spaces between sounds] **Verse 1** There you are again Standing in that room Curtains moving slowly Smell of your perfume I can see your lips move But I never hear a sound Every time I get too close The whole thing turns around [Production: intimate female alto almost whispering, vocal extremely close and dry, loose kick and rimshot enter, Rhodes fills the spaces between phrases] **Pre-Chorus** I've never seen your face At least not when I'm awake So why do I remember Every move you make? [Pre-Chorus: sub bass deepens, brushed snare enters, reversed vocal textures slowly rise] **Chorus** That dream I keep coming back to that dream You put your hands on me Like you already know me That dream Somewhere between real and make-believe Every night you're waiting there Every morning you disappear [Chorus Production: thick neo-soul bass, dusty trip-hop breakbeat, Rhodes opens into lush maj7/min9 voicings, haunting stacked harmonies, restrained guitar swells] **Verse 2** Last night we were driving Don't know where we'd been Rain across the windshield Your fingers on my skin You told me something softly I swear I knew your voice Then I woke up reaching For somebody who wasn't there [Production: drums become slightly dirtier, detuned electric piano underneath Rhodes, muted guitar fragments, subtle tape wobble] **Pre-Chorus** Maybe you're a memory I buried way too deep Maybe you're somebody I haven't got to meet [Half-bar silence] Or maybe... You're just me. [Beat drops back in] **Chorus** That dream I keep coming back to that dream You put your hands on me Like you already know me That dream Somewhere between real and make-believe Every night you're waiting there Every morning you disappear [Instrumental: 12 bars, dirty chopped drum loop, warm fretless-style bass, Rhodes improvisation, heavily reverbed guitar notes drifting in and out, wordless female vocal fragments] **Bridge** Don't wake me yet I'm almost there I know that room I know that chair I know the way You say my name But when I wake It's gone again [Production: nearly everything disappears; voice, Rhodes and low sub pulse only] Maybe I've loved you Somewhere before Maybe that's why I keep finding that door [Long silence] And maybe tonight... I'll remember more. [Final Chorus: beat returns heavier and dirtier, live-feeling bass improvisation, layered soul harmonies, distorted Rhodes underneath] **That dream** I keep coming back to that dream You put your hands on me Like you already know me **That dream** I don't know what you're doing to me Every night you're waiting there Every morning you disappear **That dream** *(Don't wake me)* That dream *(Don't wake me yet)* I think I know you I just don't know... **from where.** [Outro: drums stop abruptly, Rhodes plays unresolved minor 9th chord, reversed guitar swells, faint breathing and tape noise remain for several seconds before silence]
