Dreamers

Nobody showed you how to live?

Me either

Get a steady job, couple kids

Act decent

But I’ve been on a ten-speed

Thinking about the time as the sun sets

Like, what would I do different if I hit rewind and did it again?

I tried to figure it out but nothing was coming to mind

Remembered all my mistakes

But the memories made me smile

I told the one that I loved that love would mean letting me go

Even though I was afraid

You gotta do some things on your own

This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea

This life is only what you want it to be

And I want more, I want more

I want more, I want more

I want more, I want more

I want more

You go to heaven when you die

I’m betting

You’re still with me on the line?

Just checking

Cause I’ve been making fast friends

Late at night the kind when the sun sets

Like, waking up and thinking honey why I do it again?

I came to in a cold sweat with a nosebleed feeling hopeless

Thought I maybe might be dead

Till I got my pen sat down and wrote this

Suddenly I felt fine inside a mind so full of ghosts

The darkest nights mean you see the stars the most

This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea

This life is only what you want it to be

And I want more, I want more

I want more, I want more

I want more, I want more

I want more

I used to knock on wood

I used to never curse

I used to think I could

Control the universe

With my obsessive thoughts

And what felt like a prayer

I shouted to the sky don’t let my family disappear

I used to feel alone

I used to not belong

But little did I know I had the power all along

The only thing to fear

Is never being scared

This one goes out to all the dreamers at sea

This life is only what you want it to be

And I want more, I want more

I want more, I want more

I want more, I want more

I want more
