[Verse 1]
I can't remember the last time
That I felt good for more than a week
I mean really good, for more than a month

[Pre-Chorus]
('Cause I'm chasing) Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry
(A dream) Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
(And sometimes a dream) And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
(Doesn't set you free) And you just can't get your ass out of town
(Sometimes a dream) And you can't back up, 'cause you're against the wall
(Is what makes you a slave) And it's the same goddamn thing I told you

[Chorus]
Baby, it's alright (Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave)
Baby, it's alright (Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave)

[Verse 2]
And I think that's what's happened to me
'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind
And I'm searching through my past

[Pre-Chorus]
(In a way that isn't healthy) Makes you want to feel, makes you want to cry
(I'm hoping to find) Makes you want to tear the stars from the sky
(A good list of reasons) And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
(To know that I'm special) And you just can't get your ass out of town
(To know that I'm different) And you can't back up, 'cause you're against a wall
(To know that I'm better) And it's the same goddamn thing I told you
[Chorus]
Baby, it's alright (Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave)
Baby, it's alright (Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave)

[Bridge]
Look around
Do you see anyone for themselves
Like you see yourself?
So why do you still feel so all alone?

[Outro]
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish, how many pieces do you wish?
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish, how many pieces do you wish?
My mother told me to pick the very best one, and you are it
