Runaway Reverie

Alarm goes off

But I stay in the dream

Same four walls

Same cracked ceiling

Coffee on the counter

Keys by the door

Shoes on my feet

Heart on the floor

Every mirror asks

"is this really you?"

I keep answering

"I’m almost through"

I’m a runaway reverie

Breaking out of this routine

Turn the doubt down

Turn the volume up on me (on me)

I’m a runaway reverie

Scribbling my destiny

If the road burns

I’ll barefoot dance through the heat

I’m a runaway

I’m a runaway reverie

Dress code emails

In my blinking inbox

Fake laugh echo

Down the office halls

But my daydream’s loud

Like a crowd in my chest

Front row ticket

To the life I haven’t met

Every calendar

Tries to cage the year

But I’m circling

Today in red right here

I’m a runaway reverie

Breaking out of this routine

Turn the doubt down

Turn the volume up on me (hey)

I’m a runaway reverie

Scribbling my destiny

If the road burns

I’ll barefoot dance through the heat

I’m a runaway

I’m a runaway reverie

I don’t need a map

Just a first step

One small suitcase

Of the truth I’ve kept

If I lose my way

I’ll still be found

‘Cause I’m finally

Finally leaving the ground

I’m a runaway reverie

Breaking out of this routine

Turn the doubt down

Turn the volume up on me (on me, on me)

I’m a runaway reverie

Scribbling my destiny

If the road burns

I’ll barefoot dance through the heat

I’m a runaway

I’m a runaway reverie
