Well I've tried to live like
The way that you wanted me to
Never needed the proof
Just followed the rules
I pick up all the pieces
And I move my feet as fast as I can
I'm always falling behind
Just float in the lines
You want more and ambition's taken its toll on you
Well hey your confidence is fading
With your youth
And you say
That dreamers always get what they desire
(C)
The more I want, the less I've got
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you'll be
Where you want with a little more?
You're coughing blood again
I know 'cause I clean up the mess
Every now and then
Fold the line along the seam
Force a smile and never say what you mean
You're in the promised land
In someone else's dream
If you want more and you'll get there
Throw a quarter in the well
It's okay, you're fine
Ambition's not a crime
And you say
That dreamers always get what they desire
(C)
The more I want, the less I've got
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you'll be
Where you want with a little more?
Well, ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Well, ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Well, ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you'll be
(2x)
Well, ask yourself
