I Once Had a Dream

[Chorus]

Dream, I once had a dream, but then came eighteen

With all her friends to shut me off and put me in my place

No more time to waste, put on a straight face

Stay in my lane and make sure that I repeat every day

[Verse 1]

I used to smile a lot more when I was in third grade

I only cared about my friends and Beyblades

My teachers let me live inside my own utopia

I'll never get back this feeling of euphoria

True, nonе of it was true, was young and lied to

Grown-ups all end up on thе boulevard of broken dreams

[Chorus]

Dream, I once had a dream, but then came eighteen

With all her friends to shut me off and put me in my place

No more time to waste, put on a straight face

Stay in my lane and make sure that I repeat every day

[Verse 2]

Came a time when I realized that I can't go back and I'm off track

Maybe plans have changed or maybe I don't feel the same

All I am is a walking dead man with a life so bland and a washed-up band

Threw my passions out the door, maybe that's what's got me feeling down

I'm 'bout to break down, get lost and not found

But truth is I cannot afford to take care of myself

Can't keep up the pace, I'm losing the race

I dream of the days when I was young and had a

[Chorus]

Dream, I once had a dream, but then came eighteen

With all her friends to shut me off and put me in my place

No more time to waste, put on a straight face

Stay in my lane and make sure that I repeat every day

[Post-Chorus]

I had a dream

Eat, sleep, work, repeat, yeah, that's the way

I had a dream

Work, work, work, repeat, yeah, that's the way

[Bridge]

Janick, wake up

Work, sleep, work, repeat, yeah, that's the way

Janick, hey, Janick

Janick, wake up, you're having nightmares again

[Chorus]

Dream, I once had a dream, but then came eighteen

With all her friends to shut me off and put me in my place

No more time to waste, put on a straight face

Stay in my lane and make sure that I repeat every day

[Post-Chorus]

I had a dream

Eat, sleep, work, repeat, yeah, that's the way

I had a dream

And now I gotta fake my greatest smile
