The waves are breaking on the wall
the queen of roses spreads her arms to fly, she falls
if i had wings I'd cut them down
and live without these dreams
so I could learn to love the ground

'Cause I want to live inside the world
I want to act like a real girl
I want to know I'm not alone
and that dreams are not my home

The future's like a ringing bell
the road to good intentions
wanders all the way through hell
the note that hangs in the gilded hall
the clanging of my empty rooms
yeah I could learn to love them all

'Cause I want to live inside the world
I want to act like a real girl
I want to know I'm not alone
and that dreams are not my home

The waves are breaking like they do
the spires of churches
are the last place to enjoy the view
if I had wings I'd use them now
I could follow you
and hope someone would pull me down

'Cause I want to live inside the world
I want to act like a real girl
I want to know I'm not alone
and that dream are not my
dreams are not my
dreams are not my home
