Pacing through the dark in this cold apartment
I step out on the fire escape
I look at where we are and where we started
And where we'd like to be someday

If this is as far as we get
If this is as high as we go
I will rest in peace
But I won't fall asleep
'Cause it's better than my wildest dreams

And it's nothing like the world that we once imagined
But doesn't it look beautiful
And nothing last forever so whatever happens
I just wanted you to know

If this is as far as we get
If this is as high as we go
I will rest in peace
But I won't fall asleep
'Cause it's better than my wildest dreams

Oh, and I still don't know what lies ahead of you and me
But tonight I won't close my eyes
Because it's better than my wildest dreams
My wildest dreams
My wildest dreams
This is better than my wildest dreams
My wildest dreams
My wildest dreams

Light fills up the room and the streets start singing
A new song to another day
I'd sleep an hour or two, but our phones are ringing
And I feel the rumble of the train

If this is as far as we get
If this is as high as we go
I will rest in peace
But I won't fall asleep
'Cause it's better than my wildest dreams
