these sticks and these stones hurt when they're thrown
they hurt more than they mean
when your swimming upstream
when you drown in a daydream
I mean I'm in a daydream
You can't drown in a daydream
It consumed you straight through
found her dress in his room
you found a ticket to nowhere
and this game isn't fair
you say, "love is a nightmare"
I mean I make it that way
you can't live in a nightmare
(Chorus)
All eyes forward as I'm looking back
You're easier to find
rain is pouring in the lake of fire
You're easier to find
these sticks and these stones hurt when they're thrown
they hurt more than they mean when you're swimming upstream
when you drown in a daydream
I mean I'm in a daydream
you can't live in a daydream
(Chourus)
I throw a few things overboard
take my paddle and my old canoe
I'm gonna see if there is something I can find
