According To Me

(Album: Because We Had To - 2018)

Let me tell you 'bout a dream I have each night
My house is filled, a fire is burning
Outside lights are strung and every chorus is sung
With some strangers I treat like my own flesh and blood
Time is old but the night is young
When two brothers walk in and we all start singing along
I'm at home in the heart of the crowd
I get on a table, tell them all to sing louder now

I know what's real to me
I don't care if I live in a dream
I know me and all I could be
I live my life according to me

Everyone is swaying along
It's my time to shine and sing my own song
I'll be me and then I'll be free
I could be the king of England for all they think
And I know no one knows who I am right now
But one day I'll be the man
What's a life worth living for if you don't have dreams
Behind an unopened door?

I know what's real to me
I don't care if I live in a dream
I know me and all I could be
I live my life according to me

You're too young to know what you want
And I'm too young to know what you're not
So forget the words, let's just get lost in our thoughts
There's too much to say and not enough time in our days
And I know, I know, I know, I don't know best
And I know, I know, I know, you will regret
That you didn't play a part in my dreams
So farewell to you right now, goodbye
Cause like those brothers said
One of you had to go, far away

I know what's real to me
I don't care if I live in a dream
I know me and all I could be
I live my life according to me
