Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this

Stayin' up for days on end then sleeping long enough
Wasting all the cash on bets, we're so disorganized
Making up all our own rules and happy for a while
Failing all the time, no matter how it's justified

Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this

Charging all around the town and losing all the games
Breaking up the rules we made, we are so unsocialized
Cheating on the brain, we have no answers of our own
Faking all the time, no matter what our hearts desire

Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this

It's always in the cartoons
Nobody really understands me
My heart is made of cardboard
I never thought you'd go away

Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this

Stayin' up for days on end then sleeping long enough
Wasting all the cash on bets, we're so disorganized
Cheating on the brain we have no answers of our own
Faking all the time, no matter what our hearts desire

Dreaming of the day we had some alternative plans
Like holding hands and staring up and counting little stars
Smart enough to know it's sort of just a little joke
I'm sorry, i never meant to be like this
