Lyrics Dreams vs. Waking Life - Rhett Miller, Black Prairie

Dreams vs. Waking Life

Waking life kills me sometimes
It grinds and it grinds
Cars drive and boats glide but I don’t go anywhere
The sun keeps on shinin' its rays
But I say, «To hell with the days»
Nighttime’s the one time I might find you anyway
I see you in my dreams
These dreams mean everything
I want you and I will wait for you
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Waking life drives me to drink
I think and I think
Whiskey’s fuel, I’m a fool, I don’t get anywhere
The sun keeps on mockin' my fate
I wait and I wait
Gears grind and I find myself between them but I don’t care
I see you in my dreams
These dreams mean everything
I want you and I will wait for you
In my dreams
In my dreams
I see you in my dreams
These dreams mean everything
I want you and I will wait for you
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Dreams
Dreams
Waking life kills me sometimes
