Dreaming - David Myles

I think I’ll go to the country and I’ll never come back to reality

That’d be the death of me back when I was a kid

This ain’t what I had in mind

I thought fishing and climbing up trees were the norm

Playing cards around a table as I waited out a storm

When I thought about life that’s what I had in mind

What I had in mind

Til they told me I was wrong

They said that kind of living was just fiction

Stories and songs

So I went on living trusting in those words

Like a school of fish or a flock of birds

When I thought about life I just fell in line

I did all the right things, made all the right moves

Expensive clothes and shiny shoes

But every single night I couldn’t keep from crying

Couldn’t keep from crying

Cause I knew that they were wrong

Crying cause I’d been lying

To myself all along

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

The life that I was sold was just a lie

Was there wisdom in the words I heard when I was a child

Or is dreaming the reason living is worthwhile

Isn’t dreaming the reason living is worthwhile

Isn’t dreaming the reason living is worthwhile
