(Don't Quit Your) Daydream

When we were kids in the back yard

Playing astronauts and rock stars

No one told us to stop it

Called us unrealistic

Then suddenly you’re eighteen

Go to college for your Plan B

What you want is too risky

Live for weekends and whiskey

We all got these big ideas

One day they’re replaced with fears

How did we get here?

Darling, don't quit your daydream

It’s your life that you’re making

It ain't big enough, if it doesn't scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It’s probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be

Living your daydream

Thirty one, waiting tables

She has the voice of an angel

Out of money and power

She only sings in the shower

All these things we say we’ll get to

Shot down by the reasons not to

Darling, don't quit your daydream

It's your life that you're making

It ain't big enough, if it doesn't scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be

Living your daydream

So scared of failure that we fail to try

Turning around before the finish line

Gotta fall for a minute before you can fly

So daydream

It’s your life that you’re making

It ain't big enough, if it doesn't scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It’s probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be

Living your daydream

Why save it for sleep when you should be

Living your daydream

It ain't big enough, if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
