BRIAN GIVANCE
NO DREAMING ALLOWED
Lyrics by Brian Givance
________________________________________
Verse 1
It's like 2 AM, we're still talking
Turning late TV shows into questions
Borrowing lives from strangers on screen
To say all the things we never would
Spending time making plans
But never called them that
Dreaming the biggest dreams
But never naming that
Always in the distance
But never admitting what it was, yeah
Chorus
There's no dreaming allowed tonight
No hiding behind telephone lines
No movie scenes, no made-up lives
No "what ifs" left for us to fantasize
'Cause we're standing right where
We said we would be
And all we can see
Is just you and me
No dreaming allowed tonight
Where will this lead
When all we can see
Is just you and me
No dreaming allowed tonight
Verse 2
Then the months all turned into weekends
And the weekends turned to days
It's funny just how the closer it got
The harder things were to say
No more putting ourselves all in the storylines
No more "what if" every night
I'm laughing at how the dream got so quiet
As the day came into sight
Chorus (Repeat)
