Verse One: XVDidn't go to college, my mama gave me the saddest lookTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpack with a rabbit footNever wanna grow up, still fighting with Captain HookEveryone confessing with questions about the path I tookI laid down and never woke up it seemsNever opened my eyes, I just opened my dreamsThen I opened the curtain, but I closed out the sceneOf my son with a dad and my girl with a ring'Cause now I'm up on stage and I hear all the screamsAnd the girls backstage are down to do anythingSo sometimes I slip off like shoes without stringsAnd that OJ's love train is losing its steamMy son wants to stay up, my girl wants to lay upMy mom wants to talk, my agent wants his pay cutA dream becomes a nightmare, my buzz takes a light-yearAnd all the while right there, my girl's telling me to wake upIf that's the real life then all of this is fakeThe dream that you're living is too much for me to takeIt all becomes real in that bed that I madeSo every time I lay down, I fall awakeHookAnd it's not what it seemsI don't wanna sleep if you're not in my dreams, I fall awakeI wake up dreaming, I fall awakeI make believe what they believe I makeSuccess is close but far away so I wake up dreaming, I fall awakeAnd it's not what it seemsI don't wanna sleep if you're not in my dreams, I fall awakeVerse 2: XVI used to dream about my grandmother dailyAnd then my dreams is real life but I ain't seen her latelyComic stores open and I wait for her to take meI can scream at the top of my lungs like Mr. SpacelyI writing, fighting these tears for fearsFighting the hears and cheers like in the battles between titansAnd I just want a quiet place to BrightonMy crippled reality has un-tightened and my dream world is heightened'Cause that's the only place where my love once stayedNot in the ground, decay, the love don't fadeIt all becomes real in that bed that I madeSo every time I lay down, I fall awakeHook
