Don't sell me no pipe dreams I wanna live with you through everything Don't sell me no pipe dreams I wanna live in a kaleidoscope Don't sell me no pipe dreams Wanna be the one to spin the wheel I know that we can only give When we have hope I don't wanna live Without any goals Can't protect me from nothing Can't save me from the truth You can't even save me from you So don't sell me no pipe dreams I wanna feel the good and bad in everything Even when it hurts, even when it hurts I know that we can only give When we got a little hope But I don't like the burden Of living with these ghosts Yes, I will hold my head high When I walk in your parade But I will always check my gait I will always watch my gait Pipe dreams, pipe dreams Pipe dreams, pipe dreams If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on, walk on, walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on, walk on, walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on, walk on, walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on, walk on, walk on
