if i'd lost my memory, i'd not know who i was
until i found that part of me and blew off all the dust
when my dreams start to feel like dreams, that's when i know i'm fucked
real life, from what it seems to me, means ignorance and distrust
so i don't wanna make it
i want you to make it for me, babe
to sing's to stand here naked
but watching's easy if i'm off stage
so go on, do what you like
take risks while you're still young
i text you from my office job
i clock out, my days done
i go home and drink a beer
i start to sing your song
oh "first i've gotta go my own way"
i don't wanna make it
i want you to make it for me, babe
to sing's to stand here naked
but watching's easy if i'm off stage
i don't think there really is
hope for anyone like us
you either make a bunch of bucks,
or very quickly turn to dust
but it's hope that keeps me up
jealousy that brings me down
so if there's one thing i'm sure of now
it's that you're gonna work it out
i know you're gonna work it out
i don't wanna make it
i want you to make it for me, babe
to sing's to stand here naked
but watching's easy if i'm off stage, oh
watching's easy if i'm off stage, yeah
laughing's easy if i'm off stage
