First Draft of Who Are You by Serena's Daydream

Write Date: February 2021

Some Background:

I wrote this the day before I recorded, and thought I would try to record a version to post. I'll make another once I decide on the words and clean it up more. Recently, I've had a ton of inspiration. I've got so many songs I need to clean up and go through. I'm forcing myself to complete them.

I was inspired by the person I’ve been seeing in my dreams. They are always the same, and I remember seeing them. But when I wake up, I can’t remember how they looked. This sounds like a cliche or something, but it’s true. I have dreams where we walk and hold hands. Sometimes by the beach, a river, or in the forest on a hiking path. Sometimes we sit in a coffee shop or kitchen and laugh. Once, I even had a dream that we were walking and holding hands, but he kept wanting to do something weird with them. It frustrated me because he wouldn’t hold my hand normally. It makes me sad because recently I haven’t seen them much. If I do, it’s a sad dream. We were on a bridge, and it collapsed. We were chased by people and they got him. One of the times, they got me. I’m no dream expert, but I do want to know who I’m dreaming about. I’m pretty sure they’re a bit taller than me, have dark hair and eyes, and tattoos somewhere. That’s pretty general, but those are things I remember seeing. I don’t remember where the tattoos were or what they are. I don’t remember how their eyes looked, just that they’re dark. And, I only know the height thing because I remember complaining I thought they’d be taller.

Lyrics:

I want to know who you are.

Who are you to take my heart.

Don’t even know your name.

But, I’ve seen you in a dream.

You dark eyes that show me the night sky.

Your smile that became my light.

Always making me smile.

And you’re just my type

Run my finger through your hair.

Laughing without a care.

Promise me you’ll meet me there.
