Lyrics

Dream Myself Alive

[Chorus]

Dream myself alive

I dream myself alive

[Verse 1]

But you can't deny

There's something dark against the light

All I can say

It doesn't have to be this way

We'll be chasing our tails madly

See days pass like wildfire

Right from the start

I knew this world would break my heart

[Chorus]

I dream myself alive

Dream myself alive

I dream myself alive

Break my heart and

Dream myself alive

[Verse 2]

What can it mean

I'm drawing pictures of the sea

Right from the start

I knew this girl would break my heart

[Chorus]

Dream myself alive

Dream myself alive

I dream myself alive

Dream myself alive

Dream myself alive

I dream myself alive

Dream myself alive

Dream myself alive
