Nobody gets what they want anymore You can barely get what you need But all I need seems like it's you No one's satisfied anymore They're knocking on all the wrong doors The only door I'll stand at is yours Since the dream came down On this mean old town Who thought hope would show her face down here. Nobody's in the right mood anymore Everyone's thinking too much My great escape is in your touch Nobody seems to be laughing out loud Is everyone too cool to smile All this heaviness is not your style Since the dream came down On this mean old town Who thought luck would lay its hands on me? I never wanted to fall so far I never needed you 'til life got hard Everyone's on the phone all the time Nobody talks face to face But I'm happiest sharing your space You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago You show up and say "sorry I'm late" You don't even know how much you're worth the wait Since the dream came down On this mean old town Who thought hope would show her face down here. Since the dream came down On this mean old town Who thought luck would lay its hands on me?
