Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Late night conversations
With past life hesitations
Once when I was younger
Back when I knew hunger
[PreChorus]
I was just bored with a life to live
All I knew was to dream into it
[Verse 2]
Naïve motivations
Heightened expectations
The door was open calling
They said I was foolish
[PreChorus]
I had to walk through, didn't think of the price
With a twinkle in my eye, I dreamed into it
[Chorus]
And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun
And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So I dream into it
Dream into it
[Verse 3]
First came luck, then pressure
One man rollercoaster
Around the world like phantoms
I didn't care what would happen
[PreChorus]
See, I was kicking at the stars with the wind at my wings
Kid to a king, all I wanted was everything
[Chorus]
And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun
And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So I dream into it
[Bridge]
Feel it in my soul, I've been running so long
Regrets are flowing fast, an imaginary storm
Gripping at the branches and I'm trying to hold on
So many memories made, wish I was there for them all
I'm still at the beginning, 'though I feel like it's the end
I'm begging for a chance to see the sunrise again
'Cause I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
[Chorus]
And the records turn
Like they did when I was young
And I still don't know
If I've only just begun
And the records spin
As the soundtrack to my sins
Baby, I'm dying, dying, dying, dying to live
So I dream into it
[Outro]
Dream into it
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
