Dreams vs. Waking Life - Rhett Miller, Black Prairie

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
