I keep dreaming
Of a perfect life
With a perfect wife
I’ve put so many faces in that spot
And those perfect kids
In that perfect house
With that perfect job

And I kept smiling
And I would look at you
And I was happy
I would hold the kids in my arms
And saw myself in them
And I saw the love in them
And I couldn’t ask for anything more

I keep hoping
Everything will work out alright
But dreaming brings you no where
And I can’t dream forever
And I can’t hope forever
And I can’t wish forever
Things will either happen or not

I’m not perfect
I am who I am
I might not be a conformist
I might not be your dream guy
I might not be in your dreams
I might not be the one you look forward to seeing everyday
And that’s life
