Achieving Dreams (Punk Remix)

V5.5

[Verse 1] Used to pin hopes To a bedroom wall Posters Plans Marker on the doorframe tall Every "someday" Scribbled in a schoolbook line Dreams felt huge And I was running out of time [Pre-Chorus] But every late night Every small try Built a staircase I couldn't see yet [Chorus] I'm closer than I look right now Step by step I'm off the ground All the almosts All the half-way downs Turn to "look at me I made it out" If I don't stop I'm already on my way Achieving dreams A little more each day [Verse 2] Friends said "chill" Told me I was aiming high I missed parties They were posting while I tried Coffee rings On a stack of failed first drafts Turned my doubts Into fuel that made me laugh [Pre-Chorus] Every hard "no" Every closed door Built a thicker skin Than I had before [Chorus] I'm closer than I look right now Step by step I'm off the ground All the almosts All the half-way downs Turn to "look at me I made it out" If I don't stop I'm already on my way Achieving dreams A little more each day [Bridge] One more rep One more call One more time Getting up from the fall (oh yeah) It feels slow Till you finally see Everything you chased Is chasing you back to me [Final Chorus] I'm closer than I look right now Step by step I'm off the ground All the almosts All the half-way downs Turn to "look at me I made it out" If I don't stop I'm already on my way Achieving dreams (starting to feel okay) Achieving dreams A little more each day
