Get English - Daydream by Lily Meola

When we were kids in the backyard

Playing astronauts and rockstars

No one told us to stop it

Called us unrealistic

Then suddenly, you're eighteen

Go to college for your plan "B"

What you want is too risky

Live for weekends and whiskey

We all got these big ideas

One day, they're replaced with fears

How did we get here?

Darlin', don't quit your daydream

It's your life that you're making

It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?

Thirty-one, waiting tables

She has a voice of an angel

Out of money and power

She only sings in the shower

All these things we say we'll get to

Shot down by the reasons not to

Darlin', don't quit your daydream

It's your life that you're making

It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?

So scared of failure that we fail to try

Turnin' around before the finish line

Gotta fall for a minute before you can fly

So daydream

It's your life that you're making

It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you

If it makes you nervous

It's probably worth it

Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?

Why save it for sleep when you should be living your daydream?

가사가 좋은 듯하여 옮겨와 봤다. daydream은 말 그대로 '백일몽, 공상, 몽상'이란 뜻인데... 그 어느 곳 보다... 한국에서는 씨알도 안 먹히는 말이기도 하다.

현실에 너무 얽매여도 안 좋지만... 그렇다고 하루 종일, 평생 공상과 몽상으로 살 수도 없다. 인간은 항상 현실과 이상... 그 중간 어느(?) 지점에 서 있어야 한다. 매우 어려운 일이다.
