I was never the kind To be taking my time Any place that's worth a damn And today's another day That I've gone and thrown away And I don't care where it lands 'Cause I'm just thinking about us I've been living in a dream about you And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind And if I never see My own reality Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind I'll be gone for a time Tuning out for a while It's gonna look like I'm not all there I've decided that today Seems alright to piss away Ignore my empty stare 'Cause I'm just thinking about us I've been living in a dream about you And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind And if I never see My own reality Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind When I come down And look around I can't believe The fantasy is gone like a memory Out of my reach Fading out from me You're fading out from me I've been living in a dream about you And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind And if I never see My own reality Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind
