this started as a tale about a friend who is prescient, but then it morphed into a tale about the aspiration of dreams.
Lyrics
she likes to be alone but they won't let her
she's like a lightning rod for pain
she sees more than she should see
even if the answer's simple
she can tell it's just a lie
and she knows both sides of every story
and she feels taken for a ride
she has heard the siren song
she knows the words by heart
they tore her world apart
she says the words don't matter
she's heard them all before
and she'll fall for them again
and she knows there's a price for every pleasure
and she feels it's driving her insane
caught in a dream
caught in a dream
she plays for time
she plays for keeps
knows what she wants
she dives in deep
every little thing you've ever said
roars like thunder in her head
and she knows there are no happy endings
so she keeps her feelings deep inside
caught in a dream
caught in a dream
all she wants and all she needs
waiting for her in her dreams
caught in a dream
dreaming of someone who'll always be there
caught in a dream
caught in a dream and there isn't a way out for her
