Secondhand Dreaming

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 begin watchin' late night TV,

When I should be asleep,

Gotta work in the mornin'.

Wish I was there,

Next to Letterman's chair,

Waiting backstage, ready to play.

Oh, 'cause I'm there every single dream,

That's ever crossed my heart,

And I'm ready to start

Secondhand dreaming,

I swear, I'm barely breathing,

I wanna know: is this *for real*

'Cause I'm secondhand dreaming,

I swear, I'm barely breathing,

I wanna know, is this *for real*?

Now, I wanna be what you want,

Wanna do what you want,

Wanna be only yours.

'Cause I give you all that I am,

Give you all that I was,

Give you all that I'm supposed to be.

Somethin's gonna have to give,

I can't keep on livin' off these dreams

With the faces that I've seen.

Oh, 'cause I'm there every single dream,

That's ever crossed my heart,

And I'm ready to start

Secondhand dreaming,

I swear, I'm barely breathing,

I wanna know,

Is this *for real*?

'Cause I'm secondhand dreaming,

I swear, I'm barely breathing,

I wanna know, is this *for real*?

Secondhand dreaming,

I swear I'm barely breathing,

I wanna know,

Is this *for real*?

'Cause I'm secondhand dreaming,

I swear, I'm barely breathing,

I wanna know, is this *for real*?
