Are we just feelin' our age?
Baby, is this when we should be thinking 'bout a mortgage?
Did you always want a garage?
Should we be considering the spacing of the children?
What if they want to go to college?
Maybe if we're lucky one of them will be a doctor
Me, I always knew the arts were hopeless from the get go
But baby we've been working so hard
I would never throw the towel in
What a mess though
I've been wanting it - dreamer
I thought I needed it - dreamer
Boy I'm fighting for it - dreamer
What a dream - what a goddamn dream
Tried to make a go in the big smoke baby
Working in a kitchen for eleven bucks an hour
Hanging on a tip at the night club honey
Top 40 hits and bottle service money
You've got what it takes - you just need some more exposure
We've got what you need - can you keep your composure?
'Cause you've been wanting it - dreamer
You thought you needed it - dreamer
Boy you're fighting for it - dreamer
What a dream - what a goddamn dream!
Is it true what the uncles say
Dreams are for the young?
Everybody's getting stiff tryna get rich
You wouldn't like me like that - you wouldn't like it
I wouldn't want you like that - I wouldn't want it
'Cause, we've been wanting it - dreamer
We thought we needed it - dreamer
Boy we're fighting for it - dreamer
You've been wanting it - dreamer
You thought you needed it - dreamer
Boy you're fighting for it - dreamer
I've been wanting it - dreamer
I thought I needed it - dreamer
Boy I'm fighting for it
What a dream - what a goddamn dream
