Some things don't seem to matter the way that they used to
Like playing for keeps and lives bound to wedding rings
We got better things to do
I hope you're in good graces with whatever god you're praying to
But please don't get me started on something I've forgotten
I got better things to do
I might take a turn for the better
Set my gaze to the ever after
But coming down is easier said than done
Oh wide eyed dreamer
Take me as your prisoner
And I'll give to you my freedom
If you've got something to make it all worthwhile
You've been talking for an hour
But your friends don't know who to
It's kinda hard to read your lips
When they're giving you the slip
They got better things to do
They might take a turn for the better
Come to your aid when you're in danger
But your heart is still in pieces that can't be put together
Oh wide eyed dreamer
Take me as your prisoner
And I'll give to you my freedom
If your medicine is strong enough to make it all worth while
I want to know what I'm missing right now
And to be the highest angel in the clouds
Looking down, looking down, looking down
Oh wide eyed dreamer
Release me from your captors
I've given away all I can afford
I'll take back what is left
Because you always said it best
Let time take care of the rest
