There's a guy, he's thinking 'bout high school.
He's stuck reminiscing of the wonders of the glory days.
There's a girl, day after her wedding.
She doesn't feel any different than before in many ways.
"Such is life" you wisper passively,
Where did my dream go?
This is not what I imagined
But this is real life
In the trenches and
We are living the dream.
Everyday comes with the promise that it could be great
If you wanted and
We are living the dream,
Living the dream.
As for me, I'm singing a new song.
I'm not gonna dwell inside
Some alternate reality
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
I feel free
I'm making the best of it
I'm seeing with eyes that find the heart and soul of true beauty
Cuz every breath could
Build up something,
Tear it down, or just
Leave it be,
So what'll it be?
This is not what I imagined
But this is real life
In the trenches and
We are living the dream.
Everyday comes with the promise that it could be great
If you wanted and
We are living the dream,
We're livin the dream.
Those with the richest lives,
That could be you and I.
Let's answer the call tonight,
We could be satisfied, satisfied.
Well, this is not what I imagined
But this is real life
In the trenches and
We are living the dream.
Everyday, love makes the promise
That we can be great
If we wanted and
We are living the dream.
Highs and lows we'll take on together,
Choosing joy whatever the weather, and
We are living the dream,
Living the dream,
Living the dream.
This is the dream.
