In the dark
And Iâ??m right on the middle mark
Iâ??m just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface

And I watch from a distance seventeen
And Iâ??m short of the others dreams of being golden and on top
Itâ??s not what you painted in my head

Thereâ??s so much there instead of all the colors that I saw

We all are living in a dream,

But life ainâ??t what it seems
Oh everythingâ??s a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen

They lead me to believe
That everythingâ??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 donâ??t keep us up at night

We have the curtains drawn and closed

We all are living in a dream,

But life ainâ??t what it seems
Oh everythingâ??s a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen

They lead me to believe
That everythingâ??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 ainâ??t what it seems
Oh everythingâ??s a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen

They lead me to believe
That everythingâ??s a mess


But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream


I wanna dream
I wanna dream

Leave me to dream
