Lyrics

Hard dream to kill


V
She?d fall in love
But the right guy?s always missing
If god's above
Then it feels like he?s not listening
She says, she?ll take her precious things and move away
Find a better job in a bigger state

Chorus
It?s a hard dream to kill let fly away
Can?t afford to give nothing to take
Can?t endure the mess that you have made
Can?t afford to fly away

V
She travelled once (dreamer dreaming)
Got photographs to prove it (use what you don?t have)
And a credit card (giver, given)
But no reason left to use it (liar, lying about what )
She says, she?ll dream a better dream one of these days
But there?s something always keeping her awake

Chorus
It?s a hard dream to kill let fly away
Can?t afford to give nothing to take
Can?t endure the mess that you have made
Can?t afford to
Let this go you?ve waited all your life
One chance ticket paid
Trade your past
you?ve waited all your life
you?ve waited all your life

V

She had dreams (illusion living)
But they feel a little distant (these days you can t wait)
Sometimes it seems (not there, absent)
She has a life but she?s not in it (this dream is hard, its not)

Chorus
It?s a hard dream to kill let fly away
Can?t afford to give nothing to take
Can?t endure the mess that you have made
Can?t afford to
Let this go you?ve waited all your life
One chance ticket paid
Trade your past waited all your life
You?ve waited all your life
