“Dream World”

Lyrics Permalink
Walking around with your head in the clouds, you don’t care
Why must you walk when you know you’re not going anywhere?
Why don’t you come out of your dream world? It’s not real
It’s not the way it seems to be
Why don’t you come into the real world? Come with me
We’ll share our thoughts, forget the dreams, you’ll see
Always pretending that everything’s fine when it’s not
Oh, why do you lie when you know that you always get caught?
Why don’t you come out of your dream world? It’s not real
It’s not the way it seems to be
Why don’t you come into the real world? Come with me
We’ll share our thoughts, forget the dreams, you’ll see
[break]
Why don’t you come out of your dream world? It’s not real
It’s not the way it seems to be
Why don’t you come into the real world? Come with me
We’ll share our thoughts, forget the dreams, you’ll see
You’ll see
You’ll see
