I found a photograph of long ago
the deepest wishes of my soul pictured on the page
Heels high against the kitchen wall
pushin' all the pencil marks higher than the last

J.V. to Varsity, a new patch
a product of my circumstance
unindividuality
"Class of Social Compensation"
makin' up for limitations, the one I wish that I could be

There goes my climb
each rung in time

Stop chasin' the make believe
set to fire "The Dream"
lend an ear to your conscience now
keep your heels on the ground

It's 2AM and I'm awake again
ghosts of my past beckonin', callin' out my name
Empty pillows lay beside me
all impressions of their heart beats
love has slipped away again

There goes my climb
each rung in time

Stop chasin' the make believe
set to fire "The Dream"
lend an ear to your conscience now
keep your heels on the ground

Stop chasin' the make believe
set to fire "The Dream"
stop fishin' for justification
cast your net inside
lend an ear to your conscience now
keep your heels on the ground
keep your heels on the ground
keep your heels on the ground
