Eleventh And Bleecker

Oh the pressure comes up
to write the next song
but I cant find the means to say
That you write when you feel
that things are alright
But I just dont feel that way
So the stress builds on up
but the keyboard holds strong
and I dont have time anyway
Because works 9 to 5
at a Dennys all night
While I watch a normal life fade away.

And Ill give it all I have
Cause this is the life for me
I know the odds are overwhelming
I dont care if you disagree
I know nothing comes for free

So dont tell me
I already know what you did
You gave up
Im sorry
And you will see
Dont tell me what I cant do
My dreams mean everything

And what a damn shame
when you cant chase your dreams
with the girl that you love at your side.
And the calls become shorter
When youre paying in quarters
But you to take it all in stride.
Watch my friends fall apart
While Im making my start
I miss all our late night drives
But this is all that I know
I give it all even though
The whole world just wont seem to abide

And Ill give it all I have
Cause this is the life for me
I know the odds are overwhelming
I dont care if you disagree
I know nothing comes for free

So dont tell me
I already know what you did
You gave up
Im sorry
And you will see
Dont tell me what I cant do
My dreams mean everything

Im through with waiting,
its my life Im wasting
But Ive learned that I must take every shot.

So dont tell me
I already know what you did
You gave up
Im sorry
And you will see
Dont tell me what I cant do
My dreams mean everything

So dont tell me...
