Lyrics

I didn't know
I was such a fool
And it took me a long time
Just to find out
That my head
Is upside down
What I was standing on
You know, it wasn't too solid ground, oh no

To satisfy
What I thought I'd be
I kept on living, ooo, yeah
In my own dreams

And everyday
I grew blinder
Thought I was so strong
I didn't need nobody's help

Oh, the strongest river
Can't flow up hill, wo, no
To satisfy
What I thought I'd be, oo, yeah 
I kept on living
In my own dream

You know, the tides of love, yeah
Are so strong
You know, it carried me back
And showed me I'm wrong, yeah

In my own dream
In my own dream
