Lyrics
I could have been a king
But I don't care for that line
Or maybe I should sing and play music that makes you feel fine
I could have been quite an athlete with all the records I broke
My team would have never seen defeat
But it was then I awoke
Chorus:
If I could live my life in dreams
Everything would go my way
But reality always seems to get in the way
Reality always seems to get in the way
I could have been anything I ever wanted to be
And just when I had everything
My eyes opened to see
That I was only dreaming like a thousand times before
Real as it was seeming
Now it's gone once more
(Chorus)
