I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week

I mean really good, for more than a month



'Cause I'm chasing a dream

Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry

Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky

And sometimes a dream doesn't set you free

And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down

And you just can't get your ass out of town

And sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave

And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall

And it's the same goddamn thing I told you

Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave

Baby, it's alright

Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave

Baby, it's alright



And I think that's what's happened to me

'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind

And I'm searching through my past



In a way that isn't healthy, I'm hoping to find

Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry

Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky

A good list of reasons to know that I'm special

And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down

And you just can't get your ass out of town

To know that I'm different, to know that I'm better

And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall

And it's the same goddamn thing I told you

Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave

Baby, it's alright

Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave

Baby, it's alright



Look around

Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself?

So why do you still feel so all alone?



Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish

Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish

How many pieces do you wish?

Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish

How many pieces do you wish?

My mother told me to pick the very best one

And you are it
