[Verse 1] Every mornin' I keep sleepin'
'Cause in the nighttime, I'm dreamin' of
My childhood schoolyard
I was breathin'
Air on the street where I grew up

You tell me I should know better
You're probably right
It's just a phase
I'll come back ten years from now
And nothin' will have changed

[Chorus] 'Cause I know I never try
Oh oh oh oh oh
And I wanna know
If I leave here alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2] Am I too old
To be campin' out
On my back porch?
In the suburbs
Where I was born
You never made me happy

[Chorus] And I know I never try
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I wanna know
If I leave here alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge] And even when I try
I can't recall
Faces of, anyone at all
And I dreamt of you in Montreal
In places I've never been at all

This isn't what I was hopin' for
I barely ever dream about you anymore
When everything you want has come and gone

[Chorus] Then you'll know I never try
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And I wanna know
If I leave here alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
