Telling the Honest Lie
When I was a boy I used to dream
About having a soul
And I don't know
I could, I could, I know
I would make up a world in which
People could know me and
I wouldn't have to hide and
Love was everywhere
I wanna be in the movies
I wanna walk on the moon and
I wanna tow my firetruck home
There won't be anybody there
Who doesn't like me and
They'll stare
At the muted dawn of a saint, passing through
As I get older, my dreams still lie to me
Softly at night
And I lose my place
In the real world
Everything's just eating at the planet
We live on
It tears me so far away
In space
It's so cold
It's so old
And the words are slipping out my tongue
I was a child, I had dreams
I had dreams, I had dreams, I had dreams
I'm still a child
I'm still losing myself
To you
Why don't you take me back
To when no one else had to lie
And it didn't hurt me so much
If I couldn't make things work
I didn't care
I didn't try
I didn't care
I want to die
I want
About having a soul
And I don't know
I could, I could, I know
I would make up a world in which
People could know me and
I wouldn't have to hide and
Love was everywhere
I wanna be in the movies
I wanna walk on the moon and
I wanna tow my firetruck home
There won't be anybody there
Who doesn't like me and
They'll stare
At the muted dawn of a saint, passing through
As I get older, my dreams still lie to me
Softly at night
And I lose my place
In the real world
Everything's just eating at the planet
We live on
It tears me so far away
In space
It's so cold
It's so old
And the words are slipping out my tongue
I was a child, I had dreams
I had dreams, I had dreams, I had dreams
I'm still a child
I'm still losing myself
To you
Why don't you take me back
To when no one else had to lie
And it didn't hurt me so much
If I couldn't make things work
I didn't care
I didn't try
I didn't care
I want to die
I want
