Live up to your own dream

Because I can’t live up to your dream for you. And 99.9% of the people who read my articles or listen to my podcast know this. I’d say 100%, but nothing, here on Earth, is perfect. But why do I even bring it up?  

If I can’t live up to your dream for you, is it even worth mentioning?

Short answer? No.

Longer answer is…this is just basically about some lyrics I wrote a long time ago. During a darker time, as far as relationships go. And I wasn’t in a particularly benevolent mood when I wrote ’em. As you’ll see when you read ’em. And if you tune into the Rhyme and Reason Podcast, you’ll hear the dark sounding motel session demo recording. (once I update this post)

It doesn’t even sound like the Tony I know. Too somber and dreary.

I Can’t Live Up To Your Dream

You want so much to make me perfect

You try so hard to give me wings

But there’s no way that I can make it

I’m just a guy who plays and sings

You see the world through tinted glasses

But you don’t see the total scheme

And I’m so rough around the edges

Give up, give up,

I can’t live up to your dream [repeat]

You want a miracle; not a man

Someone to change your life with the wave of his hand

And you want a hero; not a regular guy

Someone who’s bigger than life with the sky in his eye

Well, give up, give up, I can’t live up to your dream

You say your love has made me better

But still I fail to make the mark

I wish that I could light your vision

But I can barely light the dark

Give up, give up,

I can’t live up to your dream

inst…repeat chorus to end
