Dreams Like These

I was in line at the Bluebird
When she tapped me on the shoulder
And asked "are you playing tonight?"
I said "yes, I can't believe this is my life."
Before I went on
She said I'd make it far
But god if she only knew
All that I've been through
To sing in this bar

'Cause when you're younger they say
"You can be anything you want to be."
But they don't tell you how hard it is
When you've got dreams like these

And it's not easy
But would I want it to be?
No, I'd be lost without
Dreams like these
I've heard no and I've heard maybe
But I've had doors close that saved me
People who loved me only betrayed me
But I swear I'm not lying when I tell you
It's still worth trying
It'll always be worth trying

'Cause when you're younger they say
"You can be anything you want to be."
But they don't tell you how hard it is
When you've got dreams like these

And it's not easy
But would I want it to be?
No, I'd be lost without
Dreams like these

But I knew I was a wildflower
In a bed of roses
Who had her own mind
And made her own choices
And no matter what they say
I know this to be true
Dreams like these can happen
For me and for you
For me and for you

'Cause when you're younger they say
"You can be anything you want to be."
But they don't tell you how hard it is
When you've got dreams like these

And it's not easy
But would I want it to be?
No, I'd be lost without
Dreams like these
