Living the dream
 At least what the dream used to be
 There's people I don't know that know me

 Or what she wants, she just grows on
 She left me so low to the ground
 She left me here without a sound

 I guess the money brings expenses (pay up)
 So run along through this life with no sure ending
 Create what you like and break the rest
 There's hope for more than just the best (probably)
