Dreaming

Should've known, should've known
Exactly what she was saying
She didn't know, didn't know
How much attention he was paying
He was distracted by
Something else that crossed his mind

So she went up to him and said "What's the problem, boy?"
And he said, "Sorry ma'am but I was busy"

Many years went by
She was the girl he always wanted
She never noticed his mind
Was the place she always haunted
She was distracted by every other guy around

So he went up to her and said, "Babe, won't you be mine?"
And she said, "Sorry, honey. You must be"

What was he supposed to do?
When everyone around him never really knew
Exactly what he was going through
He was a victim of fantasy
It took more than 'being a man' to see
Just what a dreamer could do
But he never knew that

There he was, there he was
And all the people stood before him
He strummed his guitar
And all the people, they screamed for him
He never thought that he'd be loved for
Just what he did best

So when he sang, he sang about
All that he'd been through
And he blamed it on the fact that
All he was really good at was
