Living The Dream

There's a guy, he's thinking about high school

Stuck reminiscing on the wonders of the glory days

There's a girl - day after her wedding

She doesn't feel any different than before in many ways

"such is life," you whisper passively

"where did my dream go?"

This is not what i imagined

But this is real life in the trenches

And we are living the dream

Every day comes with the promise that

It could be great if you want it

And we are living the dream

We're living the dream

As for me, i'm singing a new song

I'm not gonna dwell inside some alternate reality

I feel free - i'm making the best of it

Seeing with eyes that find the heart and soul of true beauty

Cuz every breath can build up something

Tear it down, or just leave it be

What'll it be?

Those with the richest lives

That could be you and i

Let's answer the call to die

We could be satisfied

This is not what i imagined

But this is real life in the trenches

And we re living the dream

Every day love makes the promise

That we can be great if we want it

And we are living the dream

Highs and lows we'll take on together

Choosing joy whatever the weather

Now we are living the dream

And this is the dream
