For as Long as I Remember (feat. Mia Niles)

We've been fighting forever

Gone over this a thousand times before

Baby, it's now or never

Gotta leave this town, and I know what you're asking for

You say it's out of my reach

But I can't pretend no more

'Cause for as long as I remember

It's been stuck inside my mind

You can't ask me to surrender

When reaching for the dream keeps me alive

'Cause it's keeping me alive

And I see it might take me nowhere

Anywhere is better than the places I have been

Some say it's in my rearview mirror

A projection of my old life fading

You say it's out of my reach

But I can't pretend no more

'Cause for as long as I remember

It's been stuck inside my mind

You can't ask me to surrender

When reaching for the dream keeps me alive

'Cause it's keeping me alive

Lost outside of nowhere

A stormy rain tried to wash away the dream

"Staff wanted," says a worn out sign

And the diners name is California Dreams

Hey, ooh

'Cause for as long as I remember

It's been stuck inside my mind

You can't ask me to surrender

When reaching for the dream keeps me alive

'Cause for as long as I remember (for as long as I remember)

It's been stuck inside my mind

You can't ask me to surrender (ask me to surrender)

When reaching for the dream keeps me alive

Hey-hey

Keeps me alive

Oh-oh

For as long as I remember
