The Dreamer In Me Lyrics

When I was a kid, I was brave

Twirling into crowds, I'd sing my heart out on the stage

That was my home, that was where I felt safe

Then my mind got in the way

I pursued the dream for a bit

Then I realized I wasn't fit

To handle the pressure of perfection's dark kiss

Living the curse of the small fish

Now I'm a long way from where I began

Started out strong, thought I'd go out with a bang

The safe road is not all it's cracked up to be

Now I'd rather be lost

Than lose the dreamer in me

Money only takes you so far

'Till you realize the music in your heart

Is fading away, too quiet to hear

And the voice in the background keeps whispering in your ear:

Now I'm a long way from where I began

Started out strong, thought I'd go out with a bang

The safe road is not all it's cracked up to be

Now I'd rather be lost, than lose the dreamer in me

Ooh, I want to be a rebel

Ooh, I want to be on fire

Brighter and burning like the girl who was twirling around in her room

As she listened to her pretend crowd,

And they'd say:

Now she's a long way from where she began

Started out strong, and goin' out with a bang

The safe road is not it's all cracked up to me

It's the dreamer in her that finally set her free

It's the dreamer in her that finally set her free

Yes, I'd rather be lost

Than lose the dreamer in me
