Eloise picks the fleas off of the family dog

Listens for cars in the rain

It is morning for drop-outs who work at the Starbucks

Smoke cigarettes, and drink lemonade

And a rabbit is grazing the grass by the train station

David sees just before dawn

When a hawk comes to claim it

And fumbles the game

And drops its prey onto the lawn

You think every day is the same

But it's new, and it's brief, and it takes your breath away

Do you feel like all you do is wait

For someone else to make the damn change?

If you opened your eyes, what would you find to see?

A life you despise, a house full of lies and greed

Or would you hold on to your dream?

Lawyers and bankers all wait at the station

While David tries hard to explain

David the doctor and Eloise the patient

In the strange interaction of fate

And the rabbit gets up, leaving small drops of blood

While the hawk is flying away

And several days later, the rabbit limps by and looks Eloise right in the face

You think every day's the same

But it's new, and it's brief, and it takes your breath away

Do you feel like all you do is wait

For someone else to make the damn change?

If you opened your eyes, what would you find to see?

A life you despise, a house full of lies and greed

Or would you hold on to your dream?

Yeah, would you hold on to your dream?
