[estrelladodp]

all the hugging and touching in this video makes me miss the pre-covid19 life.

[brianmchaney]

This is probably the happiest and most uplifting break-up song I've ever heard.

[davidlerbakken]

Finally, a Jacob Collier song I can listen to without feeling like I'm solving a quadratic equation.

[SamVPaul]

The day he decides to start producing for pop artists we are going to enter a golden age of music

[nougatsoup]

Don't you ever wish someone would hug you the same way Jacob hugs that dancer

[kxena]

that hug really making me feel some type of way

[faizaniftikhar]

I think Jacob hunts for sweaters when he's not making music.

[lisa-mariehasiuk]

Ah, yes. He dances exactly how I imagined him to.

[masonhmusic]

I can’t handle their chemistry and jacob dancing with rainbow crocs, all in one video. Definitely my fav song from the album (along with Time Alone, In Too Deep, and He Won’t Hold You)

[alexisjasso]

I'm addicted to your music, seriously, there's a plethora of sounds you have created that I could have never imagined. Your art gives me lots of joy. Thank you Jacob. :)

[breadfish]

Jacob dancing will be a whole new mood

[Bounc]

We all know Jacob is a genius, but can we appreciate the lead dancer in the red pajamas??? She fucking killed the dancing oh my gaaawd

[evanpitchers]

Because it’s Jacob, we’ll let those multi-colored crocs fly

[syth]

The little pre-chorus section is so quirky I love it. One of my favourites moments on this amazing album.

[zachjohnfriesen]

Staying up all night for Jacob,
nothing seems more right.

*LYRICS*
You been feeling like you're running away
You been trying to think of something to say
I been thinking it's no matter at all
I think we thought of saying nothing before
Yeah, I decided to remember your name
You were avoiding me and it was a shame
Now the time has come for me to admit
I don't think I could be your line of best fit
My bed is made of feathers
I'll fall asleep, whatever now
'Cause I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah
And I can't remember what I mean to you
And everything is what it seems, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah-ah
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout some things, ah
And I do believe our many days are through
Don't think I'm lost without your wings, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah-ah
So I imagined we were playing a game
Something like you could be an animal
All I had to do was be tame
I watched you flying around with nothing to lose
I thought that was the kinda levitation no person could ever abuse
(I was wrong)
My boots were getting heavy and I
Said I'll meet you at the corner like a twinkle in my elephant eye
But uh, I think the time has come for us to admit
It could be weird for us to try to commit
My bed is all my pleasure now
I'll fall asleep forever now
'Cause I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah
And I can't remember what I mean to you
And everything is what it seems, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah-ah
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout some things, ah
And I do believe our many days are through
Don't think I'm lost without your wings, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah-ah
I've been thinking 'bout our dreams, ah-ah
I've been thinking 'bout our dreams, ah-ah
I've been thinking 'bout our dreams, ah-ah
I've been thinking 'bout our dreams, ah-ah
Right now
'Cause I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah
And I can't remember what I mean to you
And everything is what it seems, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah-ah
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout some things, ah
And I do believe our many days are through
Don't think I'm lost without your wings, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my wings, ah-ah, ah-ah
I've been sleeping on my dreams, ah

[satnitcboy]

You make this old man get up and dance. FINE stuff.

[johnadesola]

I can’t be the only one smiling while watching this lol. Seeing Jacob doing some little choreography with backup dancers is just cute and refreshing 😀

[SongYuTaek]

I like this song the most on the album❤️

[q.]

The female lead in this is awesome, I couldn't stop watching her
