Passenger - Things That Stop You Dreaming Lyrics

Passenger - Things That Stop You Dreaming Video

I got no money in my hand or my coat or my pocket

Won't get to space 'Cause I haven't got a rocket

But I have air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets

And a heart that beats like a tap that leaks

In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it

Jack in a box without a key to lock it

Well this boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it

'Cause the sea doesn't know my name

Yeah the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it

'Cause the sea doesn't know my name

 

Well if you can't get what you love

You learn to love the things you've got

If you can't be what you want

You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need

You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming

Oh the things that stop you dreaming

 

Well I got no one's word and nobody's promise

Not a lot to show, but this book full of sonnets

And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest

And my word is true like the sky is blue

In the summer time when everybody gets on it

Warm my skin till I get sun burnt from it

And her eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets

That shoot like silver trains

Yeah her eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets

That shoot like silver trains

 

Well if you can't get what you love

You learn to love the things you've got

If you can't be what you want

You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need

You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming

Oh oh the things that stop you dreaming

 

Oh oh oh oh no

And oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh no

 

Well if you can't get what you love

You learn to love the things you've got

If you can't be what you want

You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need

You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming

Oh oh oh the things that stop you dreaming

Oh the things that stop you dreaming
