ROCK

Dreams I had
Floating on an endless sea
Of wasted opportunity
I just watched them drown
 

Day by day
Slaving in the same routine
All chewed up by this machine
I just want out

​

But you give me strength 

Strength to carry on

I'm so lucky I've got

Someone like you to lean on

Tearing strips
‘Til there's nothing left of me
Sparks ignite the effigy
Now watch it burn

​

Let me down

Like a buy one get one free

Suck the life right out of me

And I've only got myself to blame
 

But you give me strength 

Strength to carry on

I'm so lucky I've got

Someone like you to lean on

So hold me close

Don't let me go

Cos it's at times like these

That I need you most

​

Dreams I had
Floating on an endless sea
Of wasted opportunity
I just watched them drown
