Can't Understand

Last night I had the most boring dream

It went on and on forever it seems

And I could have sworn it was real

I could've sworn that the light flickered on when I threw the switch

That's how you check



When I woke up I was still pretty bored

When I woke up I was... still... pretty... bored

But I could've sworn this was my life

I could've sworn I was born and I loved and I'm alive

Am I wrong?



Somewhere, someone is thinking things about me

And I, I, I can't understand why

I don't want to be a pedestrian I want to be king

Just for a while, just to see



Last night I had the most dreadful thought

Am I the sum of the things I've bought?

And how could I live with myself?

How could I live with myself if the power went out?

What would I do?



Somewhere, someone is thinking things about me

And I, I, I can't understand why

I don't want to be king, I'll stick with pedestrianism

It just seems easier, and safe.



I know, I realize

Around every corner, more beauty lies

I know I realize

We extend our arms beneath infinite skies

Oh no, what can I do?

If it's a mid-life crisis at twenty two

Does that mean I'll never see forty five?

I know, I realize

Around every corner, more beauty lies

I know I realize

We extend our arms beneath infinite skies

Oh no, what can I do?

If it's a mid-life crisis at thirty two

Does that mean I'll never see sixty five?



Last night I had the most dismal night

There was nothing I could say that would make things right

But I could've sworn I was smart

I could've sworn that my brain was as big as my heart

Was I wrong?



Somewhere, someone is thinking things about me

And I, I, I can't understand why

And I, I, I can't understand why

And I, I, I can't understand why
