"Things That Stop You Dreaming" lyrics - PASSENGER

I got no money in my hand
Or my coat or my pocket
Won't get to space
'Cause I haven't got a rocket

But I have air in my lungs
Eyes in my sockets
And a heart that beats
Like a tap that leaks

In the night when you haven't
Got a plumber who can stop it
Jack in a box without
A key to lock it

Well this boat may sink
But I'm not gonna rock it
'Cause the sea doesn't know my name

Yeah, the boat may sink
But I'm not gonna rock it
'Cause the sea doesn't know my name

Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming

Well I got no one's word
And nobody's promise
Not a lot to show
But this book full of sonnets

And my liver may be fucked
But my heart is honest
And my word is true
Like the sky is blue

In the summer time when
Everybody gets on it
Warm my skin
'Till get sun burnt from it

And her eyes shine bright
Like a sky full of comets
That shoot like silver trains

Yeah her eyes shine bright
Like a sky full of comets
That shoot like silver trains

Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Oh, all the things that stop you dreaming

Oh, oh, oh, oh no
And oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh no

Well if you can't get what you love
You learn to love the things you've got
If you can't be what you want
You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
Oh oh, all the things that stop you dreaming
All the things that stop you dreaming
