Well I've tried to live like the way you wanted me to Never needed the proof Just followed the rules I pick up the paces and move my feet as fast as I can I'm always falling behind Just float in the lines You want more and ambition's taken it's toll on you Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth
And you say That dreamers always get what they desire Well I've found The more I want the less I got Is this the life you've been waiting for Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more
You're coughing blood again I know 'cause I clean up the mess every now and then Fold the line along the seam Force a smile and never say what you mean You're in the promised land in someone else's dream If you want more And you'll get there Throw a quarter in the well It's ok, you're fine ambition's not a crime
And you say That dreamers always get what they desire Well I've found The more I want the less I got Is this the life you've been waiting for Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more
