Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
And I know that I'll never go back
To the Christmas colored neighborhood as thoughtful as a card
With a plastic baby Jesus in the yard
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
What we didn't know we didn't think to ask
World was just a globe we used in class
Where the gym teacher was always mad
And as far as we could tell, he only exercised his right to yell
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
As the kings of boredom we ruled as we knew how
Or at least as long as our curfews would allow
Couple skates and love-sick songs, in moments
Without pause as Johnny Cougar amplified our cause
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
We were the great believers, dreams came with stars
Freedom just depended on the car
Until one day the sky fell in and freedom lost control
And ran off the road and hit a pole
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
It was nothing at all
Beneath the snow
Lies a dream that I once had
