Dead End Dreams
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.
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams
My heart will ache again, it seems
I don't know how old I am
I don't know if I'm grown up
I feel good when I hold your hand
But when you're gone it's not enough
(No, it's never enough!)
I'm busy trying to save the world
And making plans to see a girl
I'll rescue her if I can
Figure out how old I am
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams
My heart will ache again, it seems
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I wanna do is keep my promises to you
They'll come true!
(They'll come true!)
I don't know what to write to you
I don't know what your dream boy sings
(I don't know what your dream boy sings.)
I don't know what I'm addicted to
It's at least a few different things
(Just a few)
How could I save the world
Too busy trying to see a girl?
I'll do both if I can
(I'll do both if I can.)
Figure out how old I am
And I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams
My heart will ache again, it seems
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I wanna do is keep my promises to you
Yeah, I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams
My heart will ache again, it seems (will ache again)
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I wanna do is keep my promises to you
If there was any attempt to make ends meet
I'll meet you halfway
(I'll meet you halfway there.)
If there was any attempt to make ends meet
I'll meet you halfway - and you would tell me
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams
My heart will ache again, it seems
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I wanna do is keep my promises to you
Nothing to show for these dead end dreams, which constantly haunt me
Nothing to for these dead end dreams
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams
My heart will ache again, it seems (will ache again)
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I wanna do is keep my promises to you
(They'll come true!)
(My promises to you!)
