[Verse 1]
Well I've tried to live like the way that you wanted me to
Never needed the proof just followed [bad word] 
Well 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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
You're coughing blood again
I know cause 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 promise land, someone else's dream
If you want more, you'll get there
Throw a quarter in the well
Its okay you're fine, ambition's not a crime

[Hook]
Well 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
Well ask yourself

[Bridge]
Well is this the life you've been waiting for
Well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for
Well ask yourself

[Hook x2]
