You're dreaming of a different me
You said it all, I've heard it all before
Tell me something I don't know

I'm not the opportunity I used to be
How did I wash up on your shores
Where only the prettiest things grow

And all along another disappointed, it shows
In all honesty I'm wasting in your eyes

And on and on and all along he shines as he grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out
To keep the quiet out

It's not the way the whole world sees you
You tell yourself, pick yourself up off the floor
'Cause you're the one who's running this show

The games we play as children, they still feel the same
They can't take that from you
With that kind of love you won't grow old

And if you say that I'm not free
Well, I disagree, I've known myself too long
To sell my soul for your fool's gold

And all along another disappointed, it shows
In all honesty I'm wasted in your eyes

And on and on and all along he shines as he grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

And on and on and all along he shines as he grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

So don't waste your time fighting
'Cause you can't put out this light
And this soul I'm writing
It ain't always a pretty sight

It ain't always a pretty sight
It ain't always, oh
It ain't always a pretty sight

And all along another disappointed, it shows
In all honesty I'm wasted in your eyes

And on and on and all along he shines as he grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out

And on and on and all along the silence, it grows
So I sing me another song to keep the quiet out
To keep the quiet out
