What I do is nothing new
What I say is too late today
I'm trying to be myself but so is everyone else
And I'm feeling selfish

I thought it nice to dream to be a beetle
Now I think twice I don't want to be a bug
But this story untold has already been sold
To the highest bidder

It's bittersweet, oh it's bittersweet
How we just can't, we just can't see
The same old dreams become the next big things
We keep swinging our souls to sleep

Don't know where to begin
If this is where it'll end up
Do you think that it's over
Before it even begins

Then you'll wake, wake up in a cold and empty sweat
In the middle of the night, from a dream you'll never forget

You're running from the ghost on top of the hill
He's calling your name, he's calling your name
You thought he was gone but you're awake
And you were caught in the middle again

You try and you try and you don't know why
The monkey in your head says he doesn't exist
You know in your heart you feel alive
When you sing and shout out loud
