[Verse 1]
In the dark, and I'm right on the middle mark
I'm just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
And I watch from a distance seventeen
And I'm short of the others' dreams of being golden and on top

[Chorus]
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
[Bridge]
I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess

[Chorus]
We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess

[Post-Chorus]
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
I wanna dream
