Heartbreak Dreamer
I was turning nineteen, on a cold December night
Burning like kerosene for nearly half of my life
And I barely had the GPA to make it out of Eugene
You can blame it on me with an ADHD while I'm falling asleep during the SATs
And as I pack my bags and headed to a foreign land
One way ticket on a one way plane
Laying my head down to home each night
The same devil's calling and that same old fight
Cause this one's for middle sons living in the middle love
Where they coming from and a halfway rush of blood
This one's for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending
For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light
Looking for just one reason to get through the night
Every long lost believer caught in the fight
All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright
Everybody sing
And I was turning twenty five in a city that don't sleep
Was feeling only half alive to the dreams that I keep
And I kept on waiting only she's waiting for me
You burning down Maine on a quarter tank of pain with soles off your feet
And you've been waiting and praying for the right one to come
Watch the rise and the falling of another setting sun
Nobody seems quite good enough for you except the wrong one she keep running back to
So this one's for Mike still waiting for his wife
This one's for grandma losing the love of her life
This one's for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending
For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light
Looking for just one reason to get through the night
Every long lost believer caught in the fight
All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright
Everybody sing
