Passenger
Things That Stop You Dreaming
I've got no money in my hands or my coat or my pockets
Won't get to space cause I haven't got a rocket
But I've air in my lungs
Eyes in my sockets
And a heart that beats
Like a tap that leaks
In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
Jack in a box without a key to lock it
Well this boat may sink
But I'm not going to rock it
Cause the sea doesn't know my name
Yeah the boat may sink but I'm not going to rock it
Cause the sea doesn't know my name
Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
Well I've got no one's word and nobody's promise
Not a lot to show
But this book full of sonnets
And my liver may be fuc*ed but my heart is honest
And my word is true
Like the sky is blue in the summer time
When everybody gets on it
Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
That shoot like silver trains
Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
That shoot like silver trains
Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
