A Dream of You and Me Lyrics

[Bridge]
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning

How long, how long
How long, how long

[Outro]
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
And found a piece of me
Staring at the sea...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Future Islands say about "A Dream of You and Me"?
Genius Answer

STH: Well usually we write in groups of two and three and slowly those groups come together, and it’s like, ‘Ok we have this mood here, let’s keep expanding on it.’ With this one we were writing in those groups of two and three but just picking the best of each, instead of forcing ourselves to raise up these other two babies because we had no alternative. Things kept popping up though; one of our favourite songs on the record is ‘A Dream Of You And Me’ and that was an idea Gerrit brought into the studio the week before we went into recording. But it was nice to hit the studio and know exactly what we were doing.
