People say find contentment, they say I should get a job
'Cause they don't think this is working
They say "Jake, it's been years, you haven't gotten very far"
Am I living with vision or is this something I'll regret
They don't doubt I have passion, but they ask
"What makes me different from the rest?"
I know my dreams don't fit your plans
Why can't my dreams just be my plans

I want someone to believe in me
I'm not crazy I just want you to see
That life's short and people aren't living at all
People aren't living

They're so scared for my future
Asking if I got it wrong
Reminding me of the pressure
Of a man making a living from a song

I know my dreams don't fit your plans
Why can't my dreams just be my plans

I want someone to believe in me
I'm not crazy I just want you to see
That life's short and people aren't living at all
People aren't living
