Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All All
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
All All
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
Don't waste all you got on a dumb idea
Don't waste all your time on dumb dreams
I said maybe my lyrics are week
Maybe I should stop to rhyme
But why come this far just to forget it all
I said why come this far just to forget it all
