Dad Says

Verse 1: I am giving up one of my dreams today I found out I can't always get my way And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay So I'm giving up one of my dreams today When we are children we look to the sky We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why Verse 2: And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me And this called love and it's worth every reason Love is the cool and the warmth in each season But how does one love and what does one do When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you But oh oh don't cry for me It's just one dream less on my shoulder And oh oh dad says giving up dreams Is just a sign I'm getting older Verse 3: He was a stoner and I'm like a light And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night But oh oh don't cry for me It's just one dream less on my shoulder And oh oh dad says giving up dreams Is just a sign I'm getting older Verse 4 Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face But I never dreamed of second place So I'd rather just quit than continue to race But oh oh don't cry for me It's just one dream less on my shoulder And oh oh dad says giving up dreams Is just a sign I'm getting older And oh oh I am singing on stage But it doesn't mean I know much better Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me Some days dreaming and some days a quitter Verse 5 I am giving up one of my dreams today After I held him and begged him to stay And after my dream will drown out to a whisper After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures Verse 6 And after I erased our names from the sky Stopped wondering how and asking why Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams And today I have up the one for him, and me
