Yesterday i turned 23
The date didn’t mean that much to me
Then i started adding figures up in my head
It seems the cost of dreaming’s left me in the red

Because of alcohol, i’ve shared 16 beds
With a … hanging over my head
11,000 people think i’m something i’m not
The courage to let them down is something i’ve still got

Sometimes i’m a cheat, but i don’t
I wanna quit, but i won’t
‘cuz i made this bed

You’re only brave ‘til you’re scared
You’re only unique [bad word] To every other worthless [bad word] trying to
Crawl into bed tonight…

She can’t afford to live like this
Yes we can, oh yes we can
She can’t be dumb enough to dream so big
Yes we can, oh yes we can

Move through the sleazy scenes
Past all the casting [bad word] burned knees
I’m not done yet
No, i’m only getting started

You can’t afford to live like this
You can’t be dumb enough to dream so big

Yeah we sailed through all the sleazy scenes
Past all the casting [bad word] burned knees
No, i’m not done yet

You can’t afford to live like this
Yes we can, oh yes we can
You can’t be dumb enough to dream so big
Yes we can, oh yes we can

Move through the sleazy scenes
Past all the casting [bad word] burned knees
I’m not done yet
No, i’m only getting started
