Dreamers
Polaroid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have been working on this letter
To whomever it may concern
And theres been a fall in the equations
Of what we have

Cause in a town like this
Keeping a secret is a weakness
I'm just your everyday average dreamer
And I walk these city streets like a plank
And the scene back home is killing everything
Its killing you its killing me

I have been working on this paycheck
I have been working 9 to 5
And theres been a fall in the equations of what
We have

Pre chorus
Chorus





Woah Woah Woah.
