In the dark, and I’m right on the middle mark I’m just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface And I watch from a distance seventeen And I’m short of the others dreams of being golden and on top
It’s not what you painted in my head There’s so much there instead of all the colours that I saw
We all are living in a dream But life ain’t what it seems Oh everything’s a mess And all these sorrows I have seen They lead me to believe That everything’s a mess
But I wanna dream I wanna dream Leave me to dream
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized Oh, the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home And the cries from the strangers out at night They don’t keep us up at night We have the curtains drawn and closed
We all are living in a dream But life ain’t what it seems Oh everything’s a mess And all these sorrows I have seen They lead me to believe That everything’s a mess
But I wanna dream I wanna dream Leave me to dream
I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess
We all are living in a dream But life ain’t what it seems Oh everything’s a mess And all these sorrows I have seen They lead me to believe That everything’s a mess
Oh yes. I'm 64 years old now. My only love engraved our names on a tree when we camped at our 1st romantic spot. I feel bad for the tree now, but remember our camping trip with fondness. My only advice - use birth control. We loved each other madly at the time. But were totally irresponsible. Don't make babies. Just don't.
