Take Two
Chasing Dreams and Taking Two: The Daybreakers' Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
I ain't gonna think like I want to, I'm taking it all in stride
I won't dwell on my desires; I'll handle things calmly.
I know this will all be gone soon, and I won't have to fight my pride
Recognizing that this moment will pass, and I won't have to struggle with my ego.
Maybe just one more will make me feel alright
Considering having one more of something to feel better.
I think it might take two tonight
Contemplating that two of something might be needed tonight for comfort.
I'm tired of making no damn money, and calling it a hippie dream
Expressing frustration about not making enough money and pursuing an idealistic dream.
I'm tired of telling you I'm sorry, knowing what it doesn't mean
Tired of apologizing without meaningful intent.
I won't make you wait much longer, and I ain't gonna let you down
Assuring not to keep someone waiting and promising not to disappoint.
You know this dream is harmless as long as you make it out
Highlighting that the dream is harmless as long as one successfully navigates through it.
You won't have to tell the kids I said goodnight
Promising not to disturb the children's sleep with goodnight wishes.
Or your dad that we're alright
Assuring someone's father that everything is fine.
We're still working on our style
Still in the process of developing and refining their artistic style.
Won't you bury me way down in the mix and make it sound like Exile
Suggesting to mix their work in a way that resembles a particular style (Exile).
We're still chasing down our dreams
Continuing to pursue their aspirations.
Maybe one too many for everyone but me
Acknowledging that they might have too many dreams, perhaps more than others.
Johnny there ain't no next level, just a line I drew in the dust
Rejecting the idea of a higher level and recognizing limitations.
And you aint gonna make her love you running around with us
Advising someone not to expect love while running with their group.
I thought we could write Nebraska, but I don't think I've got the words
Expressing uncertainty about writing a song about Nebraska due to a lack of suitable words.
Would you have the heart to tell me, we ain't got cash to burn
Pondering if someone would honestly convey the financial constraints.
Maybe just one more will make me feel alright
Considering having one more to feel better.
I think it might take two tonight
Thinking that two might be necessary for comfort tonight.
I think it might take two tonight
Reiterating the possibility of needing two for solace tonight.
