Living in a city of sleepless people Who all know the limits and won’t go too far outside the lines 'Cause they're out of their minds I wanna get out and build my own home On a street where reality is not much different from dreams I've had A dream is all I have Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night And I'm alright Creep past the hours like the shorter hand on the clock Hanging on a wall of a schoolhouse somewhere We wait for the bell And we dream of somewhere else Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night And I'm alright It's not that I won’t remember where I'm from Just don't wanna be here no more It's not enough (we’re only half alive) I’m gonna go (we're only half alive) Where the rest of the dreamers go Where the dreamers go Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreaming, daydreaming into the night And I'm alright Daydreaming, daydreaming all the time Daydreamer, we used to be half alive Now I'm alright I'm alright, I'm alright
