I'm sorry that I'm not around
I've been chasing my dreams with my head in the clouds
Years pass and my friends are all gone
I guess it seems I got lost in this song
Come home to dust in my bed
to plants that have died from lack of being fed
missed funerals and birthdays
Never meant to miss life when I was away, away.
We've been chasing this, all of our years
It goes far beyond all our blood, sweat and tears, Oh.
We've been chasing this, all of our years
Want it so bad, you're willing to face all your fears
You've been told, that you're never gonna get it
You've been told, that you're never gonna get it
But you know, that what's burning you's brighter than gold, and I'll chase it till the day that I go.
Remember the night that we walked, from Bleecker to Ditmars
Oh and wetalked of our dreams till the sunrise
Over the Queensborough bridge with our eyes open wide
Still keep that moment with me
When we're up on this stage screaming victory
Oh I'm terrified of who I would be if I never had a melody
Terrified of who I'd be
We've been chasing this, all of our years
It goes far beyond all our blood, sweat and tears, Oh.
We've been chasing this, all of our years
Want it so bad, you're willing to face all your fears
You've been told, that you're never gonna get it
You've been told, that you're never gonna get it
But you know, that what's burning you's brighter than gold, and I'll chase it till the day that I go.
Oh the doubt paves my insides, body so tense its paralyzed
Fearful of these butterflies
But they're just your friends dressed in disguise
But they're just your friends dressed in disguise
And we'll take their wings to reach great heights
