Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm lucky, I can open the door
And I can walk down the street
Unlucky, I got no place to go
And so I follow my feet
[Chorus]
A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain
A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain
A choice is facing you but I choose to refrain
For today, tomorrow, we'll be back in trouble again
[Verse 2]
Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun
With a comedian
You stop short of going all the way
You'll have to make it someday
[Chorus]
Why is this happening to you?
You're not a child
Why is this happening?
You've too much on your mind
[Chorus]
Things creep up on you
When you are fast asleep
You are dreaming, you are sleepy
You are stuck to the sheets
[Bridge]
In a town so small, there's no escaping you
In a town so small, there's no escape from view
In a town so small, there's nothing left to do
[Verse 3]
Dream two, you couldn't see her face
But you saw everything else
Dream two was pretty special
Easily beats loving yourself
[Chorus]
Could you put a name to someone else's sigh?
Could you put a face to someone else's eyes?
Is it someone that you'd maybe recognize?
But it all fades into the morning when you open your eyes
