[Intro: Hamilton Leithauser]

I had a dream that you were mine

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

[Verse 1: Hamilton Leithauser]

I left my room on the West Side

I walked from noon until the night

I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie

I watched the sparks fly off the fire

I found your old house, I didn't even try

They'd closed the shutters, they'd pulled the blinds

My eyes were red, the streets were bright

Those ancient years were black and white

[Pre-Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser, Together]

The 10th of November, the year's almost over

If I had your number, I'd call you tomorrow

If my eyes were open, I'd be kicking the doors in

But all that I have is this old dream I’ve always had

[Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

[Verse 2: Hamilton Leithauser]

I left my room on the West Side

I walked from noon through the night

I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie

I watched the sparks fly off the fire

I found your old house, I didn't even try

They'd closed the shutters, they'd pulled the blinds

I had a dream that you were mine

I've had that dream a thousand times

[Pre-Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]

But I don't answer questions, I just keep on guessing

My eyes are still open, the curtains are closing

But all that I have is this old dream I always had

[Chorus: Hamilton Leithauser]

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times
