I spent most of my days thinking life was a dream
Mistook the walls in my room for the clouds and the trees
Fill your head full of feeling and your heart full of names
Put them together and you're back in the dream
And life's a long time to waste
So, get out of your head and get swept away
And life's a long time to waste
I spent most of my evening watching other people live my dreams
They're painting pictures on the back of my eyes from the light of a tv screen
Fill your head full of dreams and your heart full of doubt
All that you've got is your back on the couch
Life's a long time to waste
So, get out of your head and get swept away
Because a name could never prepare you for those real things
A field's just a field and a star's just a star
Then you're only what they told you, you are
And life's a long time to waste
So I spend most of my mornings on my daily commute
With my friends on my radio to help make it through
Fill your head full of figures and your heart full of pride
You're always on the road, but never driven for that drive
And life's a long time to waste
So, get out of your head and get swept away
Because a name could never prepare you for those real things
A stone's just a stone, a road's just a road
And your destination's where you're told to go
Life's a long
Life's a long
Life's a long time to waste
