Dreams Chase You

I spent a year where they grow oranges Reading books in the sun and watering orchids Left the songs and the subtleties behind me And told myself I was better for it You can run You can hide You can jump in the arms of someone else's life but Dreams chase you You can get drunk Drain your days dry But they'll still wake you up in the middle of the night 'cause Dreams chase you I sold my guitar to the next door neighbor 'Cause seeing it on the wall I just felt like a traitor Spent the money on a couch and a coffee grinder Felt right at the time, regretted it later You can run You can hide You can jump in the arms of someone else's life but Dreams chase you You can get drunk Drain your days dry But they'll still wake you up in the middle of the night 'cause Dreams chase you I thought that trip would be a one-way But everyone changes their minds someday And I'll tell you, you ain't no exception to the rule And when you look in the mirror what the hell will you say? You can run You can hide You can jump in the arms of someone else's life but Dreams chase you You can get drunk Drain your days dry But they'll still wake you up in the middle of the night 'cause Dreams chase you You can turn those keys You can drive and drive But look over your shoulder on the next state line and Dreams chase you You can ball up your fists You can put up a fight You can get on your knees and ask God why but Dreams chase you
