Intro: verse 1: Well I've tried to live like The way that you wanted me to Never needed the proof Just followed the rules I pick up all the pieces 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 Pre-Chorus 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 promised land In someone else's dream If you want more and you'll get there Throw a quarter in the well It's okay, you're fine Ambition's not a crime Pre-Chorus 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? Well, ask yourself Instrumental:
