[Verse 1]
Waking life kills me sometimes
It grinds and it grinds
Cars drive and boats glide but I don't go anywhere

[Verse 2]
The sun keeps on shinin' its rays
But I say, "To hell with the days"
Nighttime's the one time I might find you anyway

[Chorus]
I see you in my dreams
These dreams mean everything
I want you and I will wait for you
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

[Verse 3]
Waking life drives me to drink
I think and I think
Whiskey's fuel, I'm a fool, I don't get anywhere

[Verse 4]
The sun keeps on mockin' my pain
I wait and I wait
Gears grind and I find myself between them without a care

[Chorus]
I see you in my dreams
These dreams mean everything
I want you and I will wait for you
In my dreams
In my dreams

[Chorus]
I see you in my dreams
These dreams mean everything
I want you and I will wait for you
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Dreams
Dreams

[Outro]
Waking life kills me sometimes
