When we were kids in the backyard

Playing astronauts and rockstars

No one told us to stop itCalled us unrealistic

Then suddenly you′re 18

Go to college for your plan B

What you want is too risky

Live for weekends and whisky

We all got these big ideas

One day they're replaced with fears

How did we get here?

Darling, don′t quit your daydream

It's your life that you're making

It ain′t big enough if it doesn′t scare

The hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be

Living your daydream?

31 waiting tables

She has the voice of an angel

Out of money and power

She only sings in the shower

All these things we say we′ll get to

Shot down by the reasons not to

Darling, don't quit your daydream

It′s your life that you're making

It ain′t big enough if it doesn't scare

The hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be

Living your daydream?

So scared of failure that we fail to try

Turning around before the finish line

Gotta fall for a minute before you can fly

So daydream

It′s your life that you′re making

It ain't big enough if it doesn′t scare

The hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be

Living your daydream?

Why save it for sleep when you should be

Living your daydream?
