I can't pretend that I don't see what I've become
A lonely, sad, frustrated boy without anyone
I can't pretend I didn't make it all happen
I'm always waiting for the night when the day is done
And I dream of kisses on the cheek from a boy I see
I'm wasting all my wishes in my sleep cuz he's with me
We live together in a house that he keeps clean
It doesn't matter what we do because we're free
We want for nothing but a place where we can be
Outside of my head and into reality
And I dream of kisses on the cheek from a boy I see
Just let me waste my wishes in my sleep cuz he's with me
