The Protagonist

He opened his eyes a day too late
He couldn't find the words to say
So he'll look on to brighter days
If "moving on" is "staying the same"
Then he's done good, he's not ashamed
There's not a page that he left blank

But as the night comes creeping in
He'll begin to find his sins

But he's just a wonder boy
He makes dreams inside his head
He writes off reality
He's gonna chase it instead
He's gonna chase it instead

It starts in the morning, as she snores
When she tries to breathe, his heart is torn
He wakes and then walks still in the norm
As he grabs his shoes and locks the door
The world isn't waiting anymore
It starts to pummel on his porch

But as the night comes creeping in
He'll begin to find his sins

But he's just a wonder boy
He makes dreams inside his head
He'll write off reality
He's gonna chase it instead
Oh, he's just a lover boy
With no dreams inside his head
He'll fight off reality
'Til he's drawing his last breath

I've seen this boy through thick and thin
There's not a war that he won't win
I've seen this boy fight off all his sins
There's not a war that he won't win
I've seen this boy in his own skin
This might be one that he can't win

But he's just a wonder boy
He makes dreams inside his head
He'll write off reality
He's gonna chase it instead
Oh, he's just a cover boy
With no dreams inside his head
He'll cave to reality
Like he's given up for death
'Til he's drawing his last breath
He's gonna chase it instead
