The thing about dreaming is you have to go it alone
You fall asleep and find yourself deep in the real depths of your soul
Elaborate on the good times
Scary thoughts take hold
The hardest thing about dreaming is you have to go it alone
It lives somewhere within us we all want it to go
Keeps you on the beaten path like a weight on your back it won't let you get too bold
It grows well in excuses
In good times it just endures
It finds the best nourishment in self critical minds like yours
Too many boys that were no damn good too many reasons for giving up
Give it an inch and it'll take a mile if it takes a hold it'll take your smile
Give it time and it'll take it away give it a reason to make you stay
Half a chance and it'll have a good time doubting on yourself for your whole life
The fake friends and failed romances gave it strength to take control
Your broke down jeep that one bad week gave it reason to come home
Give you a break when you hit the big time
You get big headed if you've been bad
You can never choose but if you win or lose it'll be there to see you crash
Too many boys that were no damn good too many reasons for giving up
Give it an inch and it'll take a mile if it takes a hold it'll take your smile
Give it time and it'll take it away give it a reason to make you stay
Half a chance and it'll have a good time doubting on yourself for your whole life
It knocked you back when you come unstuck all you ever really wanted was love
You've got a hell of a sparkle when you look in your eyes
Don't you go believing the world's lies
A force to reckon with at seventeen the biggest dreamer I'd ever seen
You've got the work and the will to fight your cause
Don't let a mind like yours make it a loss
Too many boys that were no damn good too many reasons for giving up
Give it an inch and it'll take a mile if it takes a hold it'll take your smile
Give it time and it'll take it away give it a reason to make you stay
Half a chance and it'll have a good time doubting on yourself for your whole life
