lyrics

secrets kept in boxes inside bedrooms
where as children we would sleep
if we save them in those places
we can have them still to keep

everybody has
has one of these
from the moment you were born
you were in love with your dreams

roll
rolling with the punches
pushed along with tumbleweeds
going sliding deeper under
we become the frozen seeds
and we forget
and we forget

days
every single day we fall
sinking numbers fahrenheit
stumbling, quiet, out of love
in the middle of the night
and we forget
and we forget

everybody has
has one of these
from the moment you were born
you were in love with your dreams

yeah when the springtime hits the tundra
when the light goes digging under
we'll awaken all the seeds

what
what's become of our old friends
it was easy to pretend
at first they played with us for hours
finding pictures in the stars
but we forget
yeah we forget

then
then everything appeared to be
lain out neat and orderly
taught the game where hope goes sour
we learned to power down the heart
and we forgot
yeah we forgot

yeah when we're wiser we'll go get them
when we're wiser we'll go fetch them
our friends we love, the dreams

everybody has
has one of these
from the moment you were born
you were in love with your dreams

i'm gonna be an astronaut
i plan to be a horse rider
a ninja or a doctor, man.
a detective on the inside,
yeah
