Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Told them your dreams and they all started laughing
I guess you're out of your mind till it actually happens
I'm the small town, one in seven billion
Why can't it be me?
[Verse 2]
They told me I was out there, tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
[Verse 3]
They said I'm going nowhere, tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
[Verse 4]
When did we all stop believing in magic?
Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?
I'm the long-shot, I'm the Hail Mary
Why can't it be me?
[Verse 5]
They told me I was out there, tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
[Verse 6]
They said I'm going nowhere, tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
[Verse 7]
(When did we stop believing)
(When did we stop)
(When did we stop believing)
(When did we stop)
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm the small town, one in seven billion
Why can't it be me?
[Verse 9]
Oh, me
Oh, me, yeah
[Verse 10]
They told me I was out there, tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies
