| LyricsAs I lie, thinking it over
 How I need to keep holding on to you
 As I try to understand clearly
 How I make myself really hold on to you
 I've got to dream on, I see the end coming
 I feel like you're running away from me
 It's just to keep on, keep playing the hunches
 Realizing how much I can't let you go free
 
 As I smile, I will keep making fences
 I can see my defenses are setting a trap
 In a while, I am lost in confusion
 Held up by illusion that there is no gap
 We've got to dream on, pretending we're l oving
 Rehearsing and shoving just to get our way
 We've got to play on, silhouetting the feeling
 we're hiding the meaning till a better day
 
 I see you scared, I see you crying
 You try to talk, but I think you're lying
 You say I'm mean, take me out of cont e xt
 You say you love, but what you want is sex
 You're all tied up, you don't know your mind
 You keep me away, give out the warning sign
 I can't come close, you're off in the clouds
 You plan your future, forgetting about now
 
 Now I sigh, believing it's o v er
 Hoping no one will ever know how I tried
 In my mind, to find the solution
 Without retribution to keep us alive
 I've got to dream on, I'm hoping in magic
 Avoiding the tragic that stays with me
 Dream on, my fantasy kills me
 I'm looking for thrills instead of at me
