I've been waiting here for you
while time's been tearing me in two
take a step outside the lines
beyond the limits that confine
been trapped inside these tiny shoes
with a heart this big I'm always confused
time's changing faster than I can tell
thrown all my pennies down a wishing well
I'll hold your hand while we sleep
curse these bad dreams
next to you I feel my heart race
winning matters and I want first place
can't look back I can't give up
not gonna blame this on bad luck
can't explain why you mean to me
a mighty bull, a trusty steed
you're not like everybody else
you understand my silent yells
I'll hold your hand while we sleep
curse these bad dreams
like a possom I play dead
won't be able to when my soul is read
no more time for our white lies
I can see it in your eyes
we all have dozens of ideas
it's up to us to make them real
our perception keeps us strong
fear everything or move along
I'll hold your hand while we sleep
curse these bad dreams
