Outside of a Dream

We used to dance,

but all the best clubs all have closed down

Now all of the music sounds mean

And what does it mean

When the one thing I can't put down

Is a letter that you wrote to me

At twenty-three

Dream, I'm on the outside of a dream

Praying that you could salvage me

Thy will be done

No second chance

Was the last thing that you told me

And I was the fool who agreed

Now I'm driving past

All the places that we went to

When the kisses flowed

So easily from you to me

Dream, I'm on the outside of a dream

Praying that you could salvage me

Thy will be done

On and on and on and on

The smallest hope is never gone

My optimism always is well fed

And if I die before I wake

I pray for all of goodness sake

That you are happy where you make your bed

So I went to search

And to find out that you're married

With a sweet little child on the way

Now I can let go of this

tiny dream I carried

With me all these years

Through all my fights and all the tears

Dream, I'm on the outside of a dream

Praying that you could salvage me

Thy will be done

See, seeing the artificial lives

Something that you always denied

Now I'm the one

On and on and on and on

The smallest hope is never gone

My optimism always is well fed

And if I die before I wake

I pray for all of goodness sake

That you are happy where you make your bed

On and on and on and on

The smallest hope is never gone

my optimism always is well fed

And if I die before I wake

I pray for all of goodness sake

That you are happy where you make your bed
