Hit the road for half a life
And braved a million hassles
I found myself the perfect wife
And built myself a castle
Clinging to a dream because
I’m scared I’m gonna drown
Clinging to what never was
To keep from going down
She didn’t seem to mind too much
All that time apart
I did my best to keep in touch
And please her fickle heart
Clinging to a dream because
I’m scared I’m gonna drown
Clinging to what never was
To keep from going down
Filled a house with kids and stuff
And somehow we got by
Concocting fibs and jolly bluffs
A fabricated lie
Clinging to a dream because
I’m scared I’m gonna drown
Clinging to what never was
To keep from going down
Reality is almost gone
Couldn’t get much insaner
The whole town knows what’s going on
With my wife and her trainer
Clinging to a dream because
I’m scared I’m gonna drown
Clinging to what never was
To keep from going down
