Nobody gets what they want anymore
You can barely get what you need
But all I need seems like it's you
No one's satisfied anymore
They're knocking on all the wrong doors
The only door I'll stand at is yours
Since the dream came down
On this mean old town
Who thought hope would show her face down here.
Nobody's in the right mood anymore
Everyone's thinking too much
My great escape is in your touch
Nobody seems to be laughing out loud
Is everyone too cool to smile
All this heaviness is not your style
Since the dream came down
On this mean old town
Who thought luck would lay its hands on me?
I never wanted to fall so far
I never needed you 'til life got hard
Everyone's on the phone all the time
Nobody talks face to face
But I'm happiest sharing your space
You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago
You show up and say "sorry I'm late"
You don't even know how much you're worth the wait
Since the dream came down
On this mean old town
Who thought hope would show her face down here.
Since the dream came down
On this mean old town
Who thought luck would lay its hands on me?
