Hailey Whitters - Living the Dream

The dream is a paycheck at the end of the week
Waitin' tables, makin' small talk out back on your break
The dream is a one bedroom walk-up apartment
Cheap Christmas lights out on the fire escape

Oh, the one thing I've learned is that the world keeps on spinnin'
Love's the only thing that makes it go 'round
I've given it all with the time I've been given
I'm out here livin'
Ain't we all just livin'?

The dream is a cigarette out the car window
After he tells you you ain't what he wants
The dream is a ride home, can't say you didn't try
But those stars in LA ain't as bright as you thought

Oh, the one thing I've learned is that the world keeps on spinnin'
Love's the only thing that makes it go 'round
I've given it all with the time I've been given
I'm out here livin'
Ain't we all just livin'?

Oh, the dream
Baby, those wings
Ain't the only way to fly
Ain't the only way to cry
Ain't the only way you'll ever get
You'll ever get high

Oh, the one thing I've learned is that the world keeps on spinnin'
Love's the only thing that makes it go 'round
I've given it all with the time I've been given
Years down to days down to even a minute
The heartaches, the big breaks
The wrong turns, the mistakes
That lead to the laugh lines
The highlights, the blessings
I'm out here livin'
Ain't we all down here livin'
The dream?
Livin' the dream
I'm livin' the dream
Just livin' the dream

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
