THE LYRICS:

I sit in this coffeehouse for the third time in a week
My friends seem to be having fun
I find myself having none
When all I really wanna do is sing my songs
And be next to you

Here sits a big dreamer
Gonna take over the world
But in two, three weeks, five months
You know that I’ll be sitting here
Cause all I really wanna do is sing my songs
And be next to you

Let’s go on a picnic
We’ll drink wine and play guitar
I fed myself pretty good
My dream stayed in the car
And then I wonder if sometimes
I need to get away
From their dancing and their drugs
Bleach and hair spray
When all I really wanna do is sing my songs
And be next to you

This place is full of dreamers
Overdosing on their dreams
Their mouths drip with their precious plans
And sugars and creams
They think they’re going somewhere
But they are not thinking true
You ain’t going nowhere
And you take me with you too
When all I really wanna do is sing my songs
And be next to you.
