Well, I've tried to live like the way that you wanted me to

Never needed the proof, just followed the rules

I pick up the paces and I move my feet as fast as I can

I'm always falling behind, just float in the lines

You want more and ambition's taken its toll on you

Well, hey, your confidence is fading with your youth

And you say that dreamers always get what they desire

Well, I've found, the more I want the less I've got

Is this the life you've been waiting for

Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more?

You're coughing blood again

I know because I clean up the mess every now and then

Fold the line along the seam

Force a smile and never say what you mean

You're in the promised land in someone else's dream

If you want more and you'll get there

Throw a quarter in the well

It's okay, you're fine, ambition's not a crime

And you say that dreamers always get what they desire

Well, I've found, that the more I want the less I've got

Is this the life you've been waiting for

Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more?

Well ask yourself

Is this the life you've been waiting for? Well, ask yourself

Is this the life you've been waiting for? Well, ask yourself

Is this the life you've been waiting for, you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more? Well, ask yourself

Is this the life you've been waiting for, you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more? Well, ask yourself
