about

A realisation of how life doesn't always turn out the way you thought it would

lyrics

Looking Like My Dreams

I’ve got nothing to lose, you can’t take that away from me.
I got nothing to lose, so you can leave me be.

I was going to be a rich man
I was going to be a king
I would never talk when I had the chance to sing but . . .

I never grew up looking like my dreams

I got nothing to lose so there’s nothing you can say
I got nothing to lose I’m a dog whose had his

I would always be a free man
I would never be tied down
Why play the straight guy if I would be the clown but . . .

I went diving for pearls but all I got was oysters
I sought help from my church but got kicked in the cloisters
Now I’m looking for the man I used to be in my childhood dreams

I was gonna rule the world with an iron rod
Why settle for mortality if I could be a god but . . .
