People Used to Dream About the Future

                                  Drinking our coffee

It's a quarter to three

No one in this place

Just us and our mistakes

You in the corner

That stupid smile

On your face

Tell me is there a way to replace

All the dreams

That didn't come true

Once we were happy



Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

Once we were people

With stars in our eyes



Do you remember when I was your

Alice blue gown'

And you were the handsome young

Prince in his crown

Now the rain hits the roof

And your realize

That even your youth has let you down

Oh don't go cry in your beer

Cause it all ends in tears

Remember when we were happy



Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

Yeah, once we were people

With stars in our eyes



Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future



But where did it all go

Where did it all go

Where did it all go



When did we stop taking pictures

And when did you lose all your fight

And where did you sign

Give up and resign

I never gave up on you

No, I never gave up on you 



Once we were people

Who used to dream about the future

Once we were people

With stars in our eyes



Once we were people

Once we were people
