Looking over your homes'

My hands deep in soil
But I was there on an island
Shooting flares at you both'

'Thought I was soothing like a violin
Confessing new rain
But I was piping like a trumpet
Frantic but faint'

'Thought I was built like a building's built
On concrete and stone
I realized i'm just a hack actor
Finished playing my role'

    Dreams old men dreams
Dmaj7                           Dmaj7(v2)
    it's just like when we were kids
D            G(v2)  G
    We'd lay around wondering
Dmaj7         Dmaj7(v2)           D      G(v2)  G
    We try to listen to what they said

Push my piano outside
I don't care, I don't care

Meet the media black sky
I don't care, I don't care

The neighbours will complain
Let them stare, let them stare

Who knows where the time goes
I don't care, I don't care

'What would you think of me if I told you
I haven't slept in weeks
I've been up chasing my childhood with a pen
These are dreams old men dream'
