Well I've tried to live like the way you wanted me to
Never needed the proof
Just followed [bad word] 
I pick up the paces and 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 it's toll on you
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth

And you say
That dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found 
The more I want the less I 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

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 promised land in someone else's dream
If you want more
And you'll get there
Throw a quarter in the well
It's ok, you're fine
ambition's not a crime

And you say
That dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found 
The more I want the less I 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
