Well I've tried to live like
the way that you wanted me to
Never needed the proof
just followed the rules
I pick up all the pieces and
I move my feet as fast as I can
I'm always falling behind
just float in the lines
You want more and
ambition's taken its toll on you
Well hey your confidence
is fading with your youth
And you say that dreamers
always get what they desire
Well I've found the more
I want the less I've got
Is this the life you've
been waiting for
Or are you hoping that you'll be
where you want with a little more
You're coughing blood again
I know because I clean up
the mess every now and then
Fold the line along the seam
Force a smile and never
say what you mean
You're in the promised
land in someone else's dream
If you want more
and you'll get there
Throw a quarter in the well
It's okay you're fine
ambition's not a crime
And you say that dreamers
always get what they desire
Well I've found that the
more I want the less I've got
Is this the life you've
been waiting for
Or are you hoping that you'll
be where you want with a little more
Well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been
waiting for well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been
waiting for well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been
waiting for you hoping that you
'll be where you want with
a little more Well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been
waiting for you hoping that you
'll be where you want with
a little more Well ask yourself
