Dreams Chase You

I spent a year where they grow oranges
Reading books in the sun and watering orchids
Left the songs and the subtleties behind me
And told myself I was better for it

You can run
You can hide
You can jump in the arms of someone else's life but
Dreams chase you
You can get drunk
Drain your days dry
But they'll still wake you up in the middle of the night 'cause
Dreams chase you

I sold my guitar to the next door neighbor
'Cause seeing it on the wall I just felt like a traitor
Spent the money on a couch and a coffee grinder
Felt right at the time, regretted it later

You can run
You can hide
You can jump in the arms of someone else's life but
Dreams chase you
You can get drunk
Drain your days dry
But they'll still wake you up in the middle of the night 'cause
Dreams chase you

I thought that trip would be a one-way
But everyone changes their minds someday
And I'll tell you, you ain't no exception to the rule
And when you look in the mirror what the hell will you say?

You can run
You can hide
You can jump in the arms of someone else's life but
Dreams chase you
You can get drunk
Drain your days dry
But they'll still wake you up in the middle of the night 'cause
Dreams chase you
You can turn those keys
You can drive and drive
But look over your shoulder on the next state line and
Dreams chase you
You can ball up your fists
You can put up a fight
You can get on your knees and ask God why but
Dreams chase you
