lyrics

1. Everyone dreams, only a few feel the need
To go out of their way to keep me up to speed.
I try not to sigh as you struggle to recount them.
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t care about them.
I find your assumption that I must obnoxious.
Why can’t you keep ’em just between you and your subconscious?
Look, I understand, you find them endlessly compelling,
But they must be losing something in your stammering retelling.
And it strikes me as ridiculous that you could take offense
When I am not amazed that none of ’em make sense.
No dreams ever do, that’s the typical experience.
You’re blinking at me like this is your first time hearing this.
Details fade in the bright light of day.
They escape from your clutches and fly right away.
But somehow, you don’t take that as a sign
That relating me your dream’s a complete waste of time.

Chorus: I’m not your dream journal, no matter how you spin it.
Unless you’re that cute and I made an appearance in it,
Then I don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had,
Don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had.
I’m not your dream journal, when night becomes morning.
Unless it was prophetic or in any way a warning,
Then I don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had,
Don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had.

2. And then you say, “And then I woke up” and I try to leave.
Just as I’m about to get away you grab me by the sleeve.
You tell me that you think I’ve got a gift for discernment,
So now that I’ve heard it, how would I interpret?
But I am not Joseph and I am not Freud.
I am just a guy both bored and annoyed,
Who could not care less if the dream was significant.
Falling or flying? I’m at best indifferent.
Already irritated that you got me on the hook
For what amounted to foul mound of gobbledygook.
So at this point, I wouldn’t say I feel too inclined
To help you find the meaning in the debris inside of your mind.
Whether wish-fulfillment or a frightening nightmare,
I avoid the subject out of a fear that you might share.
And that sharing will remind you of more and more.
Give me a break, that’s what a dream journal is for.

Chorus: I’m not your dream journal, no matter how you spin it.
Unless you’re that cute and I made an appearance in it,
Then I don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had,
Don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had.
I’m not your dream journal, when night becomes morning.
Unless it was prophetic or in any way a warning,
Then I don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had,
Don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had.

(I don’t wanna hear about the weird dream you had (x4))
