Lyrics:

I don't know
But it seems that every single dream
Is painting pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend and by the end it's a nightmare

But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know
But I find the speedy hands of time
Are wailing out a warning on the wall
But nobody heeds the call
And the soldier obeys while the parson prays for his downfall

But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know
But it's true, so many things you do
Please you so they leave you feeling warm
It's the calm before the storm
For the habit grows and before you know it you're deformed

But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know
But I feel that safety isn't real
With everybody acting all the same
For the rules will ruin the game
So I go my way laughing while they say that I'm insane

Yes, I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know
But I see that everything is free
When you're young, the treasures you can take
But the bridge is bound to break
And you reach the end screaming it's all been a mistake

But I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live

I don't know
But it seems that every single dream
Is painting pretty pictures in the air
Then it tumbles in despair
And it starts to bend and by the end it's a nightmare

So I'm gonna give all that I've got to give
Cross my heart and I hope to live
