Watching the sights on the silver screen
They end up meaning more than the memories we keep
You'd prefer a mirage because the false sun may be dull
But it won't ever burn
Can we wake up from this daydream?
Can we wake up from this daydream?

All these stories have endings that we can live with
Ones that keep us, ones that keep us sane
The only problem
They're not the endings that we get to live
Ones that keep us, ones that keep us

Don't you wonder if it's worth, if it's worth it
To ignore the facts, ignore the view?
The obsession is the greatest curse
It'll send us to our graves wishing this opus was our own
Can we wake up from this daydream?
Can we wake up from this daydream?

All these stories have endings that we can live with
Ones that keep us, ones that keep us sane
The only problem
They're not the endings that we get to live
Ones that keep us, ones that keep us

Can we wake up from this daydream?
Been sleeping in, waiting
Can we wake up from this daydream?
Wake up, wake up from this daydream

All these stories have endings that we can live with
Ones that keep us, ones that keep us sane
The only problem
They're not the endings that we get to live
Ones that keep us, ones that keep us sane
