[Chorus]
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
I wanna live with you through everything
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
I wanna live in a kaleidoscope
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
Wanna be the one to spin the wheel
[Verse 1]
I know that we can only give
When we have hope
But I wanna live
Without any ghosts
Can't protect me from nothing
Can't save me from the truth
You can't even save me from
You
[Chorus]
So don't sell me no pipe dreams
I wanna feel the good and bad in everything
Even when it hurts, even when it hurts
[Verse 2]
I know that we can only give
When we got a little hope
But I don't like the burden
Of living with these ghosts
Yes, I will hold my head high
When I walk in your parade
But I will always check my gait
I will always watch my gait
[Bridge]

Walk on, walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
If I can't really know you, I'd rather walk on
Walk on, walk on

I was actually in Kenya when I wrote the song. When I was walking with a big canister of water on my back, I started writing “Pipe Dreams.” It was basically, don’t give me your artificialness – it could play into friendship, lovers or anything. Don’t give me the watered-down version of you. I want t...
