SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM

[Intro] (Train passing...) ... I kept running... Until... I forgot... Who picked... The destination... [Verse 1] Gold watch... Corner office... Perfect smile... Perfect timing... Everybody... Said... "I made it..." So why... Did victory... Feel... So quiet? [Pre] Sometimes... You can climb... The wrong mountain... Perfectly... [HOOK] I'VE BEEN... LIVING... SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM... WEARING... SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME... CHASING... A FINISH LINE... I NEVER... DREW... NO WONDER... MY HEART... KEPT CALLING... ME HOME... [Verse 2 – Rap] Inherited maps with invisible ink, never stopped long enough to ask what I think. Running on applause that was never my fuel, ace in the class but a stranger at school. Bought the house... Missed the sky... Won the race... Asked myself why... Every promotion... Moved me farther... From the kid... Who dreamed... Without permission... [Bridge] Maybe... Failure... Isn't... Starting over... Maybe... Failure... Is never... Starting... At all... (Psychedelic guitar solo) [Final Chorus] I'M DONE... LIVING... SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM... I'D RATHER... FAIL... AS MYSELF... THAN SUCCEED... AS SOMEBODY... I PRETEND... TO BE... THE ROAD... ISN'T... CHANGING... I AM... [Outro] (Soft piano...) The hardest goodbye... Wasn't leaving... The job... It was leaving... The person... I thought... I had to become...
