I was dreaming of the summer All the moments we could capture on that reel Runaways Fake teenage thrills You always said that we were different That somehow everybody else had got things wrong I wasn't sure But I played along I don't wanna live forever But I don't want the mediocrity to spread Killing us As we slowly dissipate away I want something I can tell the kids In 45 years I was a dreamer I wanted it all Back when I was on my own With no-one left to rely on I was a dreamer I wanted it all I was dreaming of the summer All the moments we could capture on that reel Runaways Fake teenage thrills I don't want be a millionaire I just wanna write something I don't hate Simple thoughts And they're keeping me awake I want something I can tell the kids In 45 years I was a dreamer I wanted it all Back when I was on my own With no-one left to rely on I was a dreamer I wanted it all Yeah I was a dreamer I wanted it all If the whole world collapses in Or picks away your seams Meet me far away from here Meet me in my dreams Its not complicated Not as messy as it seems Meet me at the fountain Meet me in my dreams And if I'm dreaming Honey please don't wake me up 'Til its over And if I'm dreaming Honey please don't wake me up 'Til its over I want something I can tell the kids In 45 years
