```
Lying on our backs out in the sun

```

```
Big imaginations on the run, oh, oh

```

```
(We been dreaming, we been feeling alright)

```

```
Tell me what you want at thirty-one

```

```
Tell me what you’re dreaming just for fun, oh, oh

```

```
(I can see it I can taste it alright)

```

```
Ooh, young now but time’s moving fast

```

```
Nobody’s holding us back

```

```
Ooh, dreaming of flying first class

```

```
Gotta keep my mind on track

```

```
We could write a real big story, something worth knowing

```

Looking back we’ll know we found glory, baby, you know it

Talking bout the future like we’re done, oh, oh

```

```
(We been dreaming, we been feeling alright)

```

Picking out the pictures in the clouds we’re looking up

```

Crashing down to earth now we don’t wanna fuck it up, oh, oh
