Dreamer

### Verse 1

I used to draw maps to a “someday” life

Stars in the margins, wasting time

Every wall said “aim for more”

But nobody said what that was for

I chased the glow till it burned me out

Learned the hard way what hype’s about

Turns out falling from the sky

Means tripping over what’s nearby

### Pre-Chorus

I’ve been up, I’ve been low

They don’t feel that far apart, you know

### Chorus

**I’m a dreamer like everyone else**

I’ve tried everything I wanted to

But I’m a realist, I kinda like reality

It’s got nothing left to prove

I’m a dreamer like everyone else

Still reaching for what I can’t see

But I’m a realist, I kinda like reality

And it looks good on me

---

### Verse 2

Every voice says “go bigger, go”

Like bigger means you’re winning more

I’ve seen heroes lose their sleep

Trading now for make-believe

I don’t need my name in lights

I just want my days to feel right

If this is all I ever am

I’m proud of where I stand

### Pre-Chorus

I still reach, I still try

I just don’t need the moon to shine

### Chorus

**I’m a dreamer like everyone else**

I’ve tried everything I wanted to

But I’m a realist, I kinda like reality

It’s got nothing left to prove

I’m a dreamer like everyone else

Yeah, I still believe in change

But I’m a realist, I kinda like reality

And I wouldn’t trade it away

---

### Bridge (drop + build)

Maybe I won’t save the night

Maybe that’s still living right

I don’t need forever in my hands

Just something real I can stand on

---

### Final Chorus (lift / shout-along)

**I’m a dreamer like everyone else**

Still running toward something new

But I’m a realist, I kinda like reality

It’s finally coming true

I’m a dreamer like everyone else

Yeah, I still look up sometimes

But I’m a realist, I kinda like reality

And this life is mine

### Outro

Yeah, this life is mine
