Soñando Despierto Lyrics in English Jay Wheeler

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soñando Despierto by Jay Wheeler from Spanish to English.
Where will you be? I wonder
I know that it's not my business, but
This has me in despair
Who will you kiss? I wonder
Do you also tell him that he's your whole world?
And I lose sleep over you
Chorus 1
I'm dreaming awake
That ours is real
Chorus 1
You're not in my bed, but you are in my thoughts
I don't know who I'm lying to
If I believe that not even dead
Chorus 1
Babe, I stop feeling, I'm always thinking about you-u-u
Verse 1
And what could've been
A memory of all your poses
Verse 1
With you it was love, with the others pure sex
I'm never gonna find somebody like you, I know it
Dreaming awake, I invest the time
Even though I don't even have it, but I do have
One chance, I'm not lying
I make you happy or I die trying
And even if I'm left without a pulse
I won't expel you from my mind
Verse 1
That's why I look for you
And you think that they're impulses
Verse 1
But I wear the hoodie you gave me
What we have can be confusing
I know that life follows its course
Chorus 2
But I'm dreaming awake
That ours is real
Chorus 2
You're not in my bed, but you are in my thoughts
I don't know who I'm lying to
If I believe that not even dead
Chorus 2
Babe, I stop feeling, I'm always thinking about you-u-u
Where will you be? I wonder
I know that it's not my business, but
This has me in despair
Who will you kiss? I wonder
Do you also tell him that he's your whole world?
And I lose sleep over you
-Awake
That ours is real
You're not in my bed, but you are in my thoughts
I don't know who I'm lying to
If I believe that not even dead
Babe, I stop feeling, I'm always thinking about you-u-u

SONG MEANING

Soñando Despierto follows Puerto Rican singer Jay Wheeler as he wanders through a vivid daydream, unable to shake the thought of a past love. The lyrics paint a picture of sleepless nights, jealous questions—“¿Dónde estarás?” “¿A quién besarás?”—and a heart that refuses to accept reality. Even without her beside him, he keeps her alive in his mind, picturing a future where “lo nuestro es cierto.” Everything around him feels temporary; what he shared with her was love, while everything since has been “puro sex.”

At its core, the song balances hopeless longing and stubborn hope. Jay clings to memories (like the hoodie she gave him) and vows to “make her happy or die trying,” investing every spare second in this fantasy relationship. The result is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever loved so deeply that they keep dreaming with their eyes wide open, convinced that one more chance could turn imagination into reality.
