I'm streaming, dreaming on the border of consciousness

I know that time is passing me

I'm hoping that I'll understand the way we are is taught

And not how we should be

It's mesmerizing when you think

It's underwhelming when you speak

A tic-tac-toe, Simon said so, game over when you go to sleep

I think we all clowns, all around

Everyone knows that we dumb down

Our feelings are pointless but beautiful nameless flowers we couldn't keep

When I hold you inside of my heart it's in hoping you'll sweep me right off my feet

Illusions come true and if that's what you want, I can promise we'll never sleep

Tell us what it is that you've been yearning

Missing deep inside of you like someone told you

You weren't good enough is enough show me where you're hurting

Put a plaster, kiss it better, tell your mother, run for cover

Frost accumulates on my window sill

I just wanna stay

I watch the leaves, they fall, then comes the snow

Wanna make it another day

Happy to see you and see the sun

I know my daddy wished I was a son

Odd what you remember when you're young

Then a huge gap, then more memories, then you're done

Same songs still play on the radio

Turn it up, turn it a little more

Ambition got you knocking on every door

Ambition got you knocking on every door

Tell me what is wrong but don't tell me all

Gotta keep some for your shoulders to fall

Chin up

But your mind on the ground

Grounded

Less likely to fall

Tell us what it is that you've been yearning

Missing deep inside of you like someone told you

You weren't good enough is enough show me where you're hurting

Put a plaster, kiss it better, tell your mother, run for cover
