Out Of Your League
Handsome Poets Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world you have created
Is a burden on your shoulder
It's highly overrated
The way you think is right

The sun is slowly rising
While you wake up in a dream
Build on imagination

New ground under your feet

This is out of your league
But I still believe
Make you part of my team
Yes I still believe

Build your castles in the sky
Keeps your dream up high

This is out of your league
But I still believe
Make you part of my team
Yes I still believe

Build your castles in the sky
Keeps your dream up high

This is out of your league
But I still believe
Make you part of my team
Yes I still believe

Build your castles in the sky
Keeps your dream up high
