Amanda Palacios - What Dreaming's For Lyrics

He doesn't really have a clue
How much I bring up his name
If I had a nickel for every time I do
I'd be rich enough to buy out my shame

Why is it so hard to make them understand
I'm interested can't they see?
All of my friends think I waste too much time In dreamland
"Reality's not like the movies"

So based off what you're telling me
They rarely sweep you off the floor?
I guess that's what
That's what dreaming's for
I wish I could give them a reason so
They'd want to know me more
But I guess that's what
That's what dreaming's for

Looked up as you skated by
Our eyes met when you said hey
At the caf, I lost my appetite
When I saw you walking towards me

Why is it so hard to make them understand
I'm interested can't they see?
All of my friends think I waste too much time
Here thinking
"Reality's not like what you read"

So based off what you're telling me
They rarely sweep you off the floor?
I guess that's what
That's what dreaming's for
Wish I could give them a reason
So they'd want to know me more
But I guess that's what
That's what dreaming's for

"Give it up dreamer
Give it up now
Give it up before it's too late
And you're let down"

"And start to believe it
Your thought's own sound
And start to believe
That they will come around"

Why is it so hard to make them understand
I'm interested can't they see?
All of my friends think I waste too much time Just pining
"Reality is not like tv"

So based off what you're telling me
They rarely sweep you off the floor?
I guess that's what
That's what dreaming's for
I wish I could give them a reason
So they'd want to know me more
But I guess that's what
That's what dreaming's for

"Give it up dreamer
Give it up now
Give it up before it's too late
And you're let down"

"And start to believe it
Your thought's own sound
And start to believe
That they will come around"

That they will come around
Eventually he'll come around
