The way that you wanted me to
Never needed the proof
Just followed the rules
I pick up the paces
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
[Hook]
And you say that dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found the more I want the less I've got
[Chorus]
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 'cause I clean up the mess every now and then
Fold the line among 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 ok, you're fine, ambition's not a crime
[Hook]
[Chorus]
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!
[Chorus]
Well ask yourself!
[Chorus]
Well ask yourself!
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 the paces 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 [Hook] And you say that dreamers always get what they desire Well I've found the more I want the less I've got [Chorus] 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 'cause I clean up the mess every now and then Fold the line among 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 ok, you're fine, ambition's not a crime [Hook] [Chorus] 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! [Chorus] Well ask yourself! [Chorus] Well ask yourself! Explain Request ×
