If you try to catch me you'll be the first to know
 Freedom can be lonely, loneliness makes me think
 Still I'm riding on my own, been put into a cage
 So if you try to catch me, I'm already far away
 I'm far away, I'm far away

 I am a dream you cannot catch
 I am your dream, I can never be
 We fade away when ladybirds get pale
 We fade away when ladybirds turn gray

 Not even you can bring life back from death's wife
 My eyes are tired of trying to stay dry on rainy days
 I can't read your mind even lips, can you read mine?
 Can you read mine? Can you read mine?

 I am a dream you cannot catch
 I am your dream, I can never be
 We fade away when ladybirds get pale
 We fade away when ladybirds turn gray

 Freckles on the lips seem too much to resist
 Wondering why they were stuck on my mind
 [bad word] and scraped day after day just to get them away

 It [bad word]  me down, now I don't know why
 My lips are marked with freckles all over
 My lips are marked with freckles all over, all over

 I am a dream you cannot catch
 I am your dream, I can never be
 We fade away when ladybirds get paid
 We fade away when ladybirds turn away

 I am a dream you cannot catch
 I am your dream, I can never be
 We fade away when ladybirds get pale
 We fade away when ladybird turn gray
