Daydreamer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Daydreamer
Sitting on the sea
Soaking up the sun
He is a real lover
Of making up the past
And feeling up his girl
Like he's never felt her figure before

[Verse 2]
A jaw dropper
Looks good when he walks
Is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase
But good to catch
And he could change the world
With his hands behind his back, oh

[Chorus]
You can find him sitting on your doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And you can tell that he'll be there for life

[Verse 3]
Daydreamer
With eyes that make you melt
He lends his coat for shelter
Plus he's there for you
When he shouldn't be
But he stays all the same
Waits for you
Then sees you through

See Adele Live

Get tickets as low as $124

[Bridge]
There's no way I could describe him
What I've said is just what I'm hoping for

[Chorus]
But I will find him sitting on my doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And I can tell that he'll be there for life
And I can tell that he'll be there for life

About

“Daydreamer” is the first track off Adele’s first album, 19.

In 2008 interviews with The Sun and Daily Star Adele discussed the song’s inspiration:

It was about a friend of mine, who’s still one of my best friends, and he was bi. But I started falling in love with him around my 18th birthday. He convinced me that it would be fine but that night he kissed one of my best boyfriends and I was like: ‘Get lost!’
I had no problem with him being bisexual, but I can’t fight off girls and boys. I get jealous enough as it is. It’s about everything I’d hoped he’d be and we’d be, but he would never be and we would never be. So, it’s me daydreaming about him.
