Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had

And I know that Ill never go back

To the christmas colored neighborhood as thoughtful as a card

With a plastic baby jesus in the yard



Chorus



It was all and it was nothing at all

It was all and it was nothing at all



What we didnt know we didnt think to ask

Where the gym teacher was always mad and as far as we could tell

He only exercised his right to yell



Chorus



As the kings of boredom we ruled as we knew how

Or at least as long as our curfews would allow

Couple skates, love-sick songs, in moments without pause

As johnny cougar amplified our cause





Chorus



We were the great believers that dreams came with stars

And freedom just depended on the car

Until one day the sky fell in and freedom lost control

And ran off the road and hit a pole



Chorus



Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
