It's all good. I knew better on the first part too, but got it wrong nonetheless.

Any ideas on what she might mean? I've never given it much thought, but always noticed it as a neat lyric.

I take it to mean that she had dreams about the future but to him they were just the inconsequential clouds that milk makes in coffee that disappear… writing this now I see maybe that doesn’t make sense though lol

I read, probably with the lyrics at Spotify, that she was on a plane and noticed that the clouds reflected in her cup of coffee. And used it in the song.
