26 - Lyrics
 
Man you really know how to get someone down
Everything was fine until you came around
 
And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds
After all wasn't I the one who said
To keep your feet on the ground
Man you really brought me back down
 
Hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
And they say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
 
You got me tied up but I stay close to the window
And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go
 
I hope that someday maybe I'll just float away
And I'll forget every cynical thing you said
When you gonna hear me out?
Man you really bring me down
 
Hold onto hope if you got it
And don't let it go for nobody
And they say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
 
(Ooh) Reality will break your heart
(Ooh) Survival will not be the hardest part
(Ooh) It's keeping all your hopes alive
(Ooh) When all the rest of you has died
So let it break your heart
 
And hold onto hope if you got it
And don't let it go for nobody
And hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
And they say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
