LYRICS
Eloise picks the fleas off of the family dog
Listens for cars in the rain.

It is morning for drop-outs who work at the Starbucks,
Smoke cigarettes, and drink lemonade.

And a rabbit is grazing the grass by the train station
David sees just before dawn

When a hawk comes to claim it
and fumbles the game
and drops its prey onto the lawn

You think every day’s the same
But it’s new, and it’s brief, and it takes your breath away

Do you feel like all you do is wait
for someone else to make the damn change?

If you opened your eyes, what would you find to see?
A life you despise, a house full of lies and greed.
Or would you hold on to your dream?

Lawyers and bankers all wait at the station
While David tries hard to explain

David the doctor and Eloise the patient
in the strange interaction of fate

And the rabbit gets up leaving small drops of blood
While the hawk is flying away

And several days later the rabbit limps by
and look Eloise right in the face

You think every day’s the same
But it’s new, and it’s brief, and it takes your breath away

Do you feel like all you do is wait
for someone else to make the damn change?

If you opened your eyes, what would you find to see?
A life you despise, a house full of lies and greed.
Or would you hold on to your dream?
Yeah, would you hold on to your dream?
