lyrics

Last night I had the most boring dream
It went on and on forever it seems
And I could have sworn it was real
I could have sworn that the light flickered on when I thew the switch
That's how you check

When I woke up I was still pretty bored
When I woke up I was... still... pretty... bored
But I could have sworn this was my life
I could have sworn I was born and I loved and I'm alive
Am I wrong?


Somewhere, someone is thinking things about me
And I can't understand why
I don't want to be a pedestrian
I want to be king
Just for a while, just to see

Last night I had the most dreadful thought
Am I the sum of the things I've bought?
And how could I live with myself?
How could I live with myself if the power went out?
What would I do?

Somewhere, someone is thinking things about me
And I can't understand why
I don't want to be king, I'll stick with pedestrianism
It just seems easier, and safe.

I know, I realize
Around every corner, more beauty lies
I know I realize
We extend our arms beneath infinite skies
Oh no, what can I do?
If it's a mid-life crisis at twenty two
Does that mean I'll never see forty five?
I know, I realize
Around every corner, more beauty lies
I know I realize
We extend our arms beneath infinite skies
Oh no, what can I do?
If it's a mid-life crisis at thirty two
Does that mean I'll never see sixty five?

Last night I had the most dismal night
There was nothing I could say that would make things right
But I could have sworn I was smart
I could have sworn that my brain was as big as my heart
Was I wrong?

Somewhere, someone is thinking things about me
And I can't understand why
And I can't understand why
And I can't understand why
