The Dreamer Lyrics by Nate Fredrick

Different Shade of Blue

2021

[Verse 1]
Well, I remember her from years before
I was eighteen, she was thirty-four
I'd been on the search for something more
And there she was
I saw her standing there across the room
With a pit in my stomach that was about to bloom
I finally mustered up enough courage to say hello
[Verse 2]
I'd known Katie was her name
She didn't remember mine but it was all the same
As I threw my hook into a wishing well
We were interrupted by an older fellow
Two tall drinks and a shitty grin
I could tell that he was her man
But there was only one thing left to do
So I laid it on her
I said
[Chorus]
"I've been trying to make you love me
From the other side of this room
I spent most of my years just chasing my tail
And it's brought me right here to you
I may be young
But a man can dream, can't he?
You're damn right he can"
[Verse 3]
There's a lot to be learned when you're eighteen
The world was a big place for a boy like me
But if you don't put your hand on the flame, and feel the fire
You might as well just pack it up and retire
I don't regret a word I said
Or the cheap shot that I took to the head
From her boyfriend, when I leaned in and gave her a kiss
Sorry miss
[Chorus]
"I've been trying to make you love me
From the other side of this room
I spent most of my years just chasing my tail
And it's brought me right here to you
I may be young
But a man can dream, can't he?
You're damn right he can"
[Verse 4]
Yeah, there's a moral to this song
You're never too old, never too young
To follow that feeling inside your heart
It's the best place to start
[Chorus]
"I've been trying to make you love me
From the other side of this room
I spent most of my years just chasing my tail
And it's brought me right here to you
I may be young
But a man can dream, can't he?
You're damn right he can"
