Watching as the world passes me by
Sitting in the shade of my own life
There's so many time I've lost my mind
Wonder what I'm doing and do I try?
Everything I do is not good enough
I thought by now I'd be much further up
Instead I'm moving slowly in a rush
So many voices, I can't make them stop

Be a little better even when it's hard
When I'm feeling weaker I can turn it off
Try to do the right thing even if I'm wrong
Even if i'm hurting I'll keep moving on (x2)

I just have to close my eyes
To dream about a better life
And maybe I'll wake up and be there
I wish I could stay asleep
So I could live my life in dreams
And maybe I'll wake up and be there

Trying to find a seashell in the sand
Watching as it all slips through my hands
Killing time when I had different plans
Sitting when I know that I should stand
Watching as the wind blows through the leaves
Skipping out on all my biggest dreams
When did I slow down and lose my speed
Why did I let the time run right past me?

Be a little better even when it's hard
When I'm feeling weaker I can turn it off
Try to do the right thing even if I'm wrong
Even if i'm hurting I'll keep moving on (x2)

I just have to close my eyes
To dream about a better life
And maybe I'll wake up and be there
I wish I could stay asleep
So I could live my life in dreams
And maybe I'll wake up and be there

I don't want to live my life as less than what I know it is
I don't want to say goodbye to the fantasies
All the hope and the dreams

I just have to close my eyes
To dream about a better life
And maybe I'll wake up and be there
I wish I could stay asleep
So I could live my life in dreams
And maybe I'll wake up and be there
