Overview
"Still Dreaming" is sung by Kelsey Grammer as the character Micky Adams. The song's existence first became known to fans after the title was added to the BMI Repertoire (#31493752) in 2019. The film's soundtrack features both Grammer's rendition of the song as well as Cuomo's original demo.
The solo from "Still Dreaming" later became the bridge melody for the song "I Want a Dog" from Weezer's 2022 EP, SZNZ: Winter.

Lyrics
You carried the cardboard boxes up and down
Lookin' for some excuse to stay around
Eighteen with a bullet
So much left to learn
You'll find your home
You'll find your man
Things didn't turn out the way you planned
Life sure has its cruel twists and turns
Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have our beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Oh, but we're still dreaming
You took off your glasses and I didn't recognize you
You were so suddenly, utterly, beautiful
Back seat in a black car
There's so much left to learn
You'll find your home
You'll find your man
Things didn't turn out the way you planned
Life sure has its cruel twists and turns
Maybe in some other universe
Maybe in some other life
We'll have our beautiful moment
But it wasn't meant to happen this time
Oh, but we're still dreaming
