Living Your Dreams

The Embellishments - Living Your Dreams - MP3

Lyrics

the man didn't notice
when you came around
he drew all the lines on this town

the gate wasn't open
you slipped past the guard
you made it look not very hard

build  you a home with picket fence garden
pray that the neighbors look like us
it sounds pretty simple for you and your mother
happy she'll be

it's just something i say
when you're not around
maybe someday we can clean up this town

i'll build me a lead and i won't ask for backup
watch movies about teamwork
living your dreams
and no matter what will be said before daybreak
and lucky you'll feel

Author's Notes

My dear friends and high school bandmates Sam Gmetro and Alex Kosmidis came to visit me over Memorial Day weekend. We recorded two tracks based loosely on old demos Sam made while we were in college.

Sam played guitar, Gabe played drums and bass and sang oohs, and Alex played piano and organ and sang oohs.
