The Dress Rehearsal Video (MV)

Don't ever stop believing
That just around the corner it's there
Don't let it pick your stitching
Or turn your back upon the people who care

You have to keep rehearsing what to say
The good ones don't come often it's true
And when the doubts come through like a draft that chills your brain
Well, we'll beat them off of you

But how do you know,
How do you know if it's another dress rehearsal?

There was a time when we talked nonsense
We were making plans like we were millionaires
You had a friend who was burning incense
He was talking to a girl who wasn't there

He had to keep rehearsing what to say
The good ones didn't come often its true
And when the doubts came through with a heart full of hurricanes
We pulled together, and we pulled through

But how do you know?
How do you know it's another dress rehearsal?

Wish I was not a thinker
Wish I could survive in a busy room
All the time I'm smiling, taking potshots at myself to raise the mood

All the time rehearsing what to say
The good ones don't come often its true
Lying at home with your back against the bed wondering what they made of you

But how do you know,
How do you know if it's another dress rehearsal?
If the curtain's up for real?
