Passenger
Things That Stop You Dreaming by Passenger
I got no money in my hand, or my coat, or my pocket
Won't get to space 'cos I haven't got a rocket
But I've air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets
And a heart that beats like a tap that leaks
In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
Jack-in-the-box without a key to lock it
Well this boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it cos the sea doesn't know my name
Yeah the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it cos the sea doesn't know my name
Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
Well I've got no one's word and nobody's promise
Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
And my liver may be f**ked, but my heart is honest
And my word is true like the sky is blue
In the summertime when everybody gets on it
Warm my skins and get sunburnt from it
And her eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
Yeah her eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains
Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Oh Oh, All the things that stop you dreaming
Oh, oh oh oh, no
Oh, oh oh, oh oh
O o o oh, no, oh, oh
Oh oh no
Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not
If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Oh Oh, All the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
