Dreams Songtext
von Descendents

Why do I daydream?
Oh, why do I get my hopes up at all?
I′ve been living this Walter Mitty life for too long

Somebody save me
I'm a prisoner of my own fears
Sometimes fantasy is the only thought I can bear

My mind is a dream-filled balloon
Dripping dreams into my shoes
And I′m too afraid to move
To face the real world

And when I fall, I fall down hard
When will I ever learn?
Don't take your dreams to heart
You'll only wind up getting burned
Burned

Well, maybe I′m lazy
But circumstances always knock me down
So I′ll just lie here, never get up off the ground


But maybe it's crazy
To sit and think of all the things I wanna do
What′s the use in dreaming when dreams never come true?

And when I fall, I fall down hard
When will I ever learn?
Don't take your dreams to heart
You′ll only wind up getting burned

Why do I daydream?
Why do I daydream?
Why do I bother?
Why?

Oh, why do I daydream? (Time to get up off your ass)
Why do I daydream? (Pull your head out, take a chance)
Why do I bother? (Grab whatever you can grab)
Why? (There's no such thing)

It′s time to get up off your ass
Pull your head out, take a chance
Grab whatever you can grab
There's no such thing


Time to get up off your ass
Pull your head out, take a chance
Grab whatever you can grab
There's no such thing

Time to get up off your ass
Pull your head out, take a chance
Grab whatever you can grab
There′s no such thing

No such thing
