[Verse 1] Late bus Fogged glass Name in the window One earbud in Other ear on the world I don't know Mom says "Be safe Come home by midnight" But my mind's Half here Half caught in a stage light [Pre-Chorus] They talk like I'm wasting my time "Grow up Get a job Fall in line" But these scribbles in the margins Feel more real than their designs (yeah) [Chorus] I'm just a dreamer in a paper town Folded plans in this torn-up gown Trip Fall Laugh Then I hit replay (again, again, again, again) If this is foolish Let me be wrong Heart too loud for a quiet life long Even if I only touch the clouds and fade I was awake inside the dream I made [Verse 2] Desk job Blue light burns my eyes red Paycheck Buys time Not the voice in my head Cheap mic Late night Neighbors bang on the wall But each shout Hits harder than their late calls [Pre-Chorus] Timeline full of people who "made it" Still broke Still scared They fake it So why not chase the ending Where I bleed but I don't break it (hey) [Chorus] I'm just a dreamer in a paper town Folded plans in this torn-up gown Trip Fall Laugh Then I hit replay (again, again, again, again) If this is foolish Let me be wrong Heart too loud for a quiet life long Even if I only touch the clouds and fade I was awake inside the dream I made [Bridge] What if I fail? Guess I'll fail out loud Shaking on stage But I'm facing the crowd (woah) Scars on my hands Proof I tried to climb I'd rather lose years Than waste all this time [Chorus] I'm still a dreamer in this paper town Taping tears where it all falls down Trip Fall Cry Then I hit replay (again, again, again, again) Call me foolish I’ll still sing along My own world in a three-chord song Even if I only touch the clouds and fade I die awake inside the dream I made
