Lyrics

Self defense,
I’m only acting out of self defense
I’m only acting
That’s the voice of reason turning you away
Reckless abandon waiting in the wings until another day

You seem a little too familiar
Yeah, You seem a little too familiar
But cast this scene into the morning light
And tell me if we shouldn’t sleep on it tonight

Because the dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that
The dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that, leave it like that

Self restraint,
So tell me who’s the sinner, who’s the saint
The loser and the winner
Things this complicated never last
But if you close your eyes this feeling soon will pass

Because the dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that
The dream is better than the real thing, yeah
Yeah the dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that, leave it like that

So don’t you try to break me down
Or tell me otherwise
'Cos if ignorance is bliss, yeah
I’m a happy guy

Because the dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that
The dream is better than the real thing, yeah
Yeah the dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that, leave it like that
The dream is better than the real thing
So leave it like that
