Sick Of Dreaming Lyrics

I've been dreaming my whole life
Let me tell you
I'm sick of dreaming
Been dreaming my whole life
Been dreaming my life away
You know it never got me nothing
While I'm pushing the mop
With one eye on the clock yeah
Been dreaming my life away
Sick of dreaming
Been dreaming my life
You know it never got me nothing
No where
I'm going to get a place
A place down by the ocean
Going to get me a big car
Going to drive it down to the ocean
Going to drive it down by the ocean
Sick of dreaming
Sick of dreaming
Sick of dreaming my whole life away
I want it now
I said I want it now
Sick of dreaming
It never got me nothing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song pretty much says exactly what its about. Its great to have dreams, but you have to act on them or else you ain't gonna get anywhere. Youre gonna dream your life away, pushing a mop.
