Went out walking the other day
Took my dog to find a place where we could play
We wind up walking in the trees all in our way
They were whistling in the breeze
If every tune is heaven sent
Why we diggin in the midst of our laments?
They're just bu*terflies dancing in my net
Hoping now they'll just forget, yeah
But you know I'm just a dreamer yeah yeah
Livin life as though the days won't end
I hope that my regrets,
And not my innocence
Won't be the end of me
Now the Suits go walkin by
Mr. Pinstripe stops to look me in the eye
He tells me life is short
Its just gone rolling by
Wouldn't wait for my reply
Here's my dad he looks at me
Only sees the things he wishes I'd of been
Sad his plans are torn and trodden underneath
Some broken melody, yeah
But you know I'm still a dreamer yeah yeah
Livin life as though the days won't end
I'll never wear that crown
I'll never wear that frown
And that's good enough for me
Here's a cart now take the reins
No one ever starts to figure where it ends
Ask a question they all act like you're insane
Oh it is such a shame
Find it hard to understand
All the effort spent
While paint is shuffled round
People busy building castles in the sand
Should be building in the air
Yeah
Cause you know there is a dreamer up there
Livin life as though his days won't end
Well he's my only friend
Won't waste my time with them
I'm gonna catch a ride, yeah yeah
