Daydreaming

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You don't commit to me

You won't make a start

You don't tell me no

You haven't got the heart

You sit in a chair

Or you lie in bed

With a faraway stare

And a swollen head

Well, listen here my lover

I have had enough

And I can tell you brother

I could fall in love

With someone who

Looks a lot like you

But gets up and does

What he's thinking of

I can't wait another day

I can give and I can take

There's a choice you have to make

So many times things pass you by

Imagination running wild

You've got to start choosing right from wrong

Instead of daydreaming all day long

I want to catch a plane

To an open space

I want to feel the sun

Shining on my face

But time is short

And waiting is long

And my patience is exhausted

I'm just not that strong

I want to see the parade

You wanna watch TV

So we don't do either

It's insanity

You say there's plenty of time

And life is good

So you never make your mind up

Well you never could

I can ask you when or why

And you'll look up to the sky

The parade is marching by

So many times things pass you by

Imagination running wild

You've got to start choosing right from wrong

Instead of daydreaming all day long

Daydreaming, oh, oh, daydreaming, daydreaming

You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up

(Leave me alone I'm only dreaming)

You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up

(Leave me alone I'm only dreaming)

You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up

(I'm only dreaming), oh, oh

I can't wait another day

I can give and I can take

There's a choice you have to make, oh, oh

So many times things pass you by

Imagination running wild

You've got to start choosing right from wrong

Instead of daydreaming all day long

So many times things pass you by

Imagination running wild

You've gotta choose right from wrong

Instead of daydreaming all night long

(Daydreaming)

So many times

(Daydreaming)

Things pass you by

(Daydreaming)

You've gotta choose right from wrong

(Daydreaming)

All day long

All day long
