We've been fighting forever
Gone over this a thousand times before
Baby it's now or never
Gotta leave this town and I know what you're asking for
You say it's out of my reach
But I can't pretend no more
'Cause for as long as I remember
It's been stuck inside my mind
You can't ask me to surrender
When reaching for the dream
Keeps me alive
'Cause it's keeping me alive
And I see it might take me nowhere
Anywhere is better than the places I have been
Some say it's in my rear-view mirror
A projection of my old life fading
You say it's out of my reach
But I can't pretend no more
'Cause for as long as I remember
It's been stuck inside my mind
You can't ask me to surrender
When reaching for the dream
Keeps me alive
'Cause it's keeping me alive
Lost outside of nowhere
A stormy rain tried to wash away the dream
Staff wanted says a worn out sign
And the diners name is California Dreams
Hey
Oh
'Cause for as long as I remember
It's been stuck inside my mind
You can't ask me to surrender
When reaching for the dream
Keeps me alive
'Cause for as long as I remember
(For as long as I remember)
It's been stuck inside my mind
(Mind)
You can't ask me to surrender
(Ask me to surrender)
When reaching for the dream
Keeps me alive
Hey
Keeps me alive
Oh
For as long as I remember
