[Verse 1]
Fantasizing about the future
Holding on to the front of the past
Hypnotized by the lure
It pulls me in sometimes but never lasts
Somewhere in between
My reality and my dreams
Somehow it's above them both
Some days so far below
[Chorus]
When I'm occupied
I don't have to think to breathe
As long as I'm making better memories
'Cause these things last as far as I can see
But when I'm up at night
And I'm sinking in these sheets
And thinking of these memories
Yeah, these things last as far as I can see
[Verse 2]
This is how it works
This is how I learn
I've got dime to make
For when I've got time to burn
I've got things to do
And I've got things to see
Running on my own time
My imaginations mine
This place is not the world
The world's outside
[Chorus]
When I'm occupied
I don't have to think to breathe
As long as your making better memories
'Cause these things last as far as I can see
But when I'm up at night
And I'm sinking in these sheets
And thinking of these memories
Yeah, these things last as far as I can see
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
When I'm occupied
I don't have to think to breathe
As long as your making better memories
'Cause these things last as far as I can see
But when I'm up at night
And I'm sinking in these sheets
And thinking of these memories
Yeah, these things last as far is I can see
