In the dark
And I'm right on the middle mark
Just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
And I watch
From the distance seventeen
Short of the others' dreams of being golden and on top
It's not what you painted in my head
So much there instead of all the colors that I saw
[Chorus]
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess
But I want to dream
I want to dream
Leave me to dream
In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They don't keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
[Chorus]
[ohs in the background]
I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
Of this we're only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess
[Chorus]
I want to dream
I want to dream
Leave me to dream
