I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week
|
I mean really good, for more than a month
|
'Cause I'm chasing a dream
|
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry
|
Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
|
And sometimes a dream doesn't set you free
|
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
|
And you just can't get your ass out of town
|
And sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
|
And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall
|
And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
|
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
|
Baby, it's alright
|
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
|
Baby, it's alright
|
|
And I think that's what's happened to me
|
'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind
|
And I'm searching through my past
|
|
In a way that isn't healthy, I'm hoping to find
|
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry
|
Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
|
A good list of reasons to know that I'm special
|
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
|
And you just can't get your ass out of town
|
To know that I'm different, to know that I'm better
|
And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall
|
And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
|
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
|
Baby, it's alright
|
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
|
Baby, it's alright
|
|
Look around
|
Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself?
|
So why do you still feel so all alone?
|
|
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
|
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
|
How many pieces do you wish?
|
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
|
How many pieces do you wish?
|
My mother told me to pick the very best one
|
And you are it
