Lyrics

Caught me selling out the dreams
I told you long ago
I make my excuses
You don’t care

Caught you sliding round the principles
You used to own
You make your excuses
I don’t care

Look at all the pieces now
See the missing pieces now
Do you have a picture you love
Did you paint the picture you dreamed of

All of us are getting by
No time to be starry-eyed
Keeping up and buckling down
Dreams are for tomorrow
But tomorrow never comes
Drowning in our busy lives
Hiding in our empty highs
Wondering what we really need

Time slips through our fingers
Teasing us with promised lands
We’re out of excuses
No one cares

Look at all the reasons now
Do you know the reasons now
Do you have a picture you love
Did you paint a picture you’re proud of

Fools gold
Shiny but cold
Always out of reach
We don’t practice what we preach
Lives spent
Never content
Always in between
You know what I mean

Do you have a picture
Did you paint the picture
We must paint the pictures we love
Dream over, start over, paint over,
Love
