Every day I do my share chain myself to this home office chair I feel these walls close in on me I'm nowhere near where I wanna be and it's farther in the distance every day I'm fading away from the life I want to lead where I will CHORUS: take on the world, together we could take 'em by storm, like we said we would but I don't know how to follow our dreams when you leave it to me to make them all come true Temporary is what we said you'd bring home the bacon and I'd make the bed until we're on our feet again you'll quit the day job and then we'll be partners like we planned it. Did you forget? We had it all set. Now it feels like you don't really wanna CHORUS: take on the world, together we could take 'em by storm, like we said we would but I don't know how to follow our dreams when you leave it to me to make them all come true

Idea man plays in your band keeps you on track. When you're in doubt he helps you out, he's got the knack, yes, indeed. Idea man, he's got a plan to light up the night. When something's wrong he won't take long, he'll make it right, yes, indeed. But if his way leads you astray what can he say to make amends? Then his mistake keeps him awake it makes him think he's betrayed his dearest friends. No ideas, just dead ends. Idea man lately began living in doubt. Stuck standing still, he never will find his way out. No, no, no. Idea man can't understand why he can't see used to belong used to be strong used to be me, yes, indeed. And now this clown has let you down I can't depend on anything I know I take the blame I am so ashamed. I can't believe I brought the ones I love so low. No idea where to go.
