She's after a world so fleeting
She wants it all
She's tried every bed but found them all
Too big or too small
Still it's her persistence redeeming
Committed to the cause
If only she'd learn to appreciate
The beauty of flaws
Please tell me you're open to change
Please say that you're not grown up yet
She lives in a dream utopic
Proprietarily
Lone architect and foreman
Commissioned voluntarily
So waking seems catastrophic
To untrained, open eyes
But the dreams will manifest themselves
To the patient and wise
Just make sure you're open to suggestions
But don't fool yourself
It's only perfect on paper
Turns out the pictures we've drawn became the life we lead
We'll all learn sooner or later
To cope with the dissatisfaction of having our dreams come true
So this is the road not taken?
Traveled by many
Journeyed for gain
This is the path I've forsaken
Badge upon my own chest
To my father's dismay
It's only perfect on paper
Turns out the stories we write get imitated by our lives
We'll all learn sooner or later
To cope with dissatisfaction when all of our dreams come true
Is it that we never dreamed big enough?
Or that we expected once we got here all the work could just stop?
We created this present with past thought
So let's think the future that we want
That's not only perfect on paper
Turns out the songs we all sing shape our reality
We all learn sooner or later
To accept the satisfaction of all of our dreams come true
It's not only perfect on paper
Turns out the songs we all sing shape our reality
We all learn sooner or later
To accept the satisfaction of all of our dreams come true
Not only perfect on paper
It's not only perfect on paper
