He spends his nights in California,
{He spent his whole life being to young,}
Watching the stars on the big screen,
{To live the life that's in his dreams,}
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
{At night he lies awake and he wonders,}
Why can’t that be me
Cause in his life he's filled
With all these good intentions
He’s left a lot of things
He’d rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,

[Chorus]
If I could be like that,
I would give anything.
Just to live one day
in those shoes.
If I could be like that,
what would I do?
What would I do? Yeah

Now in dreams we run...

She spends her days up in the North Park,
watching the people as they pass.
And all she wants is just a little piece of this dream
Is that too much to ask?
With a safe home,
and a warm bed,
on a quiet little street.
All she wants is just that something to hold on to.
That's all she needs.
Yeah!

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
oh, oh oh yeah
I'm falling into this,
in dreams, we run...away

[Chorus] x2

Falling in
I feel lost
falling in
to this, again
