Lyrics
As 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
