Cardboard Believer

You're washing away everything
The world means nothing to a dreamer
Theyre puppets on their strings on the TV screen
It means nothing to me, Cardboard believers in nothing

If I could run away
If I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

The windows are open now
Clean free for dreaming
Arms open to the world
And all for needing nothing

If I could run away
If I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

If I could run away
If I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

To watch my life pass by
Eyes, I can't keep 'em closed
I've never been afraid to lose
You're damaged goods at best

And you're breaking down on me
You're just like all the rest
Of us you need a meaning
That's nothing

If I could run away
If I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

If I could run away
If I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
Save me

I never walk that line
I never saw the stars fall from the sky
In this night, in this painted light
I watch my dreams go by, I watch my dreams go by
Go by, go by, go by, go by, go by
