Cardboard Believer

You're washing away everything
The world means nothing to a dreamer
Their puppets on their strings on the TV screen
It means nothing to me Cardboard believers in nothing

If I could run away, if I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

The windows are open now, clean free for dreaming
Arms open to the world and all for needing nothing

If I could run away, if I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

If I could run away, if I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

I watch my life pass by
(Eyes) I can't keep 'em closed
I've never been afraid to lose

You're damaged goods at best
And you're breaking down on me
You're just like all the rest
Of us you need a meaning
That's nothing

If I could run away, if I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
To love you for who you are

If I could run away, if I could be a star
Would it take too much to save me?
Save me

I never walk that line
I never saw the stars fall from the sky
In this night
In this painted light
I watch my dreams go by
