wakin’ up with her name on my breath
blinkin’ her face from my eyes
venturing out means reality
my life comes as no surprise

same old story, oh so true
boy meets destiny girl
but there’s no chance for him
his hope a fallen world

i can wish and i can dream
that things were different than they seem
but it’s not my time, not my chance
i can’t risk this failed romance
i’m dippin’ my toe into the sea
feeling the fear of being caught
but i can hear a distant call
her nets were further than i thought
so envious of her past
of love i had no part
sympathetic to the ones
who let her break their hearts (don’t let her break your heart)
and again with my assumption
she so wild, she can be tamed
millions try and millions fail
to live with fickle fame
