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 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)
Reality seems to get in the way
