Verse 1:
It started with a lullaby and ended with a jolt
'Cause dreams were made for sleeping but she never really stopped

She let the world turn past her and she didn't seem to mind
And no one ever noticed that she didn't spend her time


Chorus:
'Cause when your heart aches for something more
That you can't have, you don't bother

To set your life straight, you just stop and stare
Into the distance that was never there


Verse 2:
A scrapbook full of memories that haven't happened yet
A journal filled with "maybe when..." whilst friends just came and went

She never bought those tickets to the city or the stars
If you asked her she's just say, she'd pray,
"One day I'll get my chance"


Chorus


Verse 3:
Her friend all left for college and she woke up with a start
The lullaby had ended with the drumming in her heart

So where was her beginning? It was spinning down the drain
Dreams were made for sleeping and she never slept again


Chorus 2:
'Cause when your heart aches for something more
That you can't have, you can't ignore

Your life will be waiting for you
When you wake up there'll be nothing new
