lyrics

sittin’ on my bed, every morning every evening, thinking to myself
well maybe if I just worked harder if I just worked better I could figure this out
cause the world is so despondent,
oh so heavy
and it feels like I could heal us, but I know

that would be ideal,
no it isn't real,
but that would be ideal
feelin’ how I feel
maybe not ideal,
but that's because it's real

ideal (ooh ooh) (x4)

sittin’ on the couch, after work, after schooling, try to watch the news
I can't help but cry every time someone dies, someone lives, I’m a rain cloud
‘cause this worlds a rollercoaster and I'm riding
and sometimes I wanna get off, but I know

that would be ideal,
no it isn't real,
but that would be ideal
feelin’ how I feel
maybe not ideal,
but that's because it's real

ideal (ooh ooh) (x4)

night and day, I’m musing I’m musing I’m musing
love so much, but why am I still losing?
yes night and day I’m dreaming I’m dreaming I’m dreaming
love too much but I can't help it, can't stop

that would be ideal,
no it isn't real,
but that would be ideal
feelin’ how I feel
maybe not ideal,
but that's because it's real

that would be ideal,
no it isn't real,
but that would be ideal
feelin’ how I feel
maybe not ideal,
but that's because it's real

ideal (ooh ooh) (x4)
