[Verse 1] I see the place that we belong together, together Like we were something more And it felt like maybe we could last forever, forever
[Pre-Chorus 1] But you led 'em to our hideout Forced their way inside, now They want us to surrender, us to surrender But I could go all night right here Between their crossfire We'll send them up a message I'll send the message We're saying, "Give it up, give it up"
[Chorus] We've got no place to go Caught up in the rodeo Oh no, please God tell me we're dreaming We've got nowhere to run They've all got loaded guns Oh no, please God tell me we're dreaming
[Pre-Chorus 2] The world is in your palm now So take a breath and calm down 'Cause you have been selected, you've been selected A few will ever find out And if you don't see why, well At least you've got your nest egg, you've got your nest egg So live it up, live it up!
[Chorus] We've got no place to go Caught up in the rodeo Oh no, please God tell me we're dreaming We've got nowhere to run They've all got loaded guns Oh no, please God tell me we're dreaming
[Pre-Chorus 1] But you led 'em to our hideout Forced their way inside, now They want us to surrender, us to surrender But I could go all night right here Between their crossfire We'll send them up a message I'll send the message We're saying, "Give it up, give it up"
[Chorus] We've got no place to go Caught up in the rodeo Oh no, please God tell me we're dreaming We've got nowhere to run They've all got loaded guns Oh no, please God tell me we're dreaming

According to lead singer Sean Scanlon in an interview with Vibe
Jax is our manager’s dog and he was in the ‘Dreaming’ photo. It was just a random picture on my phone.
In contrast to the upbeat vibe of the music, the song talks about a moment where everything goes wrong in a situation where you thought you had it all figured out. A moment we’ve all experienced to some degree, but most often if we’re lucky, in a dream where we get to wake up in a sweat and say, ‘Phewf, ok, that wasn’t real.’
