The Dream
Trentemøller Feat. Low Lyrics

Caught in a cold sweat stuck splitting hairs
Anxiety and indecisiveness are causing me a lot of stress.

I'm drinking too much
I am turning to alcohol to deal with my problems.

I'm on my way to striking out
I feel like I am headed towards failure.

Go to sleep with the pressure of everyone
I feel like everyone is watching and judging me.

Watching, waiting, they're yours for the taking
People are expecting me to succeed.

But I still have my doubts
Despite their expectations, I am unsure of myself.

Before you ask which way to go
Think about where you've come from.

Remember where you've been
Reflect on your past experiences.

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
Stay focused, take control, and take action.

You're safe from the weight of the world
Don't let the stresses of life bring you down.

Just take a second to set things straight
Take a moment to get yourself organized and on track.

I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I may make mistakes, but I will be okay.

I can count on the sun to shine
There will always be a new day and a new opportunity.

Dedication takes a lifetime
Success requires hard work and persistence over a long period of time.

But dreams only last for a night
Don't let your dreams fade away; pursue them while you can.

Figure it out boy, you're tripping
Get your act together; you are making mistakes.

So pull yourself together
Take control of yourself and your situation.

Or you'll wash up like the rest
If you don't improve, you'll end up like all the others who failed.

This ship is sinking, I'm thinking I'm done for
I feel like everything is falling apart.

I watch as the sails disappear underwater
I can see my chances of success slipping away.

'Cause I'm no captain yet
I am not yet experienced or skilled enough to handle this situation.

Believe you me, I'll give them everything
I am dedicated to doing my best and achieving my goals.

I'd tell them anything to show them everything
I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeed and prove myself.

You ain't the only ones who wanna live it up
Others also have dreams and aspirations.

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
Stay focused, take control, and take action.

You're safe from the weight of the world
Don't let the stresses of life bring you down.

Just take a second to set things straight
Take a moment to get yourself organized and on track.

I'll be fine, even though I'm not always right
I may make mistakes, but I will be okay.

I can count on the sun to shine
There will always be a new day and a new opportunity.

Dedication takes a lifetime
Success requires hard work and persistence over a long period of time.

But dreams only last for a night
Don't let your dreams fade away; pursue them while you can.
