l'm taking all

my dreams with me

On a mattress

full of memories

l'm taking all

my dreams with me

And if anyone asks you

where l've been

l've been out having fun

with my friends again

We're dancing real close

but you can always cut in

We'll be dancing real close

but you can always cut in

'Cause l signed

on the dotted line

And that mess

on your plate is mine

And l ain't asking you

to trust me

Anymore

l'm trusting you

And l say it enough

We never had a chance

To watch out for one another

We both need that

It's hard when a friend

turns their back

But when you turned around

l knew l'd finally found

Someone whose heart

beats the same

l don't remember too much

But l remember the day that

l signed on the dotted line

And that name

next to yours is mine

And l ain't asking you

to trust me

This time

l'm trusting you

And l say it enough
