Trying to juggle daydreams and night schemes,
Staying clean and flying free,
No one ever told her there wasn't ever a key
To the city they talked about under the sea
Where the buildings made of gold replaced liter in the streets
And happy was the saddest emotion you could ever be
Children were born knowing they could sing
And walking wasn't as impossible as some make it seem
No one ever told her there wasn't ever a key

How far will you go questioning if ends met means,
When did you know you would give up your dreams
I refuse to be the one that trampled your needs
If we can't walk together we can't walk as a team

I am begging you please, please, wait for me...
I'll catch up soon but I was being held back,
By the emotions you're teaching me
And the compassion you lack
How is it our lives found the same track?
When will reality be coming back?
Is this a fairy tale or a proven fact?

I'm tired too but not holding back
"I'm tired," doesn't mean I won't hear you
I may be tired but I live to be near you
We all get tired but I will stay up
So I can be the one you wake to
