[Verse 1]

I lived inside a dream

Too long and it turned to a melody

No I'm not who I used to be

I used to see magic in everything

But that has gone away from me

I can't find the remedy


[Pre-Chorus]

I pace the floor like a recluse

Back and forth, what can I do?

But all I felt was isolation

And I feel like lately I've been missing in action

And I feel like lately I've been missing in action


[Chorus]

I'm not who I used to be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been caught in a melody

Oh, oh, oh I been lost inside a dream

Too long and now I'm stranded


[Post-Chorus]

[?] as a final bit (and I try)

[?] as a final bit (I try, how I try)

[?] as a final bit (I try, I try)

I'm not who I used to be


[Verse 2]

What happened to those days of fun?

Imagination has playеd a trick on me

And I can't shake this awful gravity

I'm nevеr balancing

I used to think I could do anything

But that has gone away from me

I can't find the remedy


[Pre-Chorus]

I pace the floor like a recluse

Back and forth but it's no use

I think I made a bad decision

And I feel like lately I've been missing in action

And I feel like lately I've been missing in action


[Chorus]

I'm not who I used to be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been caught in a melody

Oh, oh, oh I've been lost inside a dream

Too long and now I'm stranded


[Post-Chorus]

[?] as a final bit (and I try)

[?] as a final bit (I try, how I try)

[?] as a final bit (I try, I try)

I'm not who I used to be

Ah no-no-no


[Refrain]

Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Magic things I used to think, used to feel

Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Are you still inside me, or are you former?

Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Former things, are you here, are you still inside me?

I [?] former things I remember


[Bridge]

(All the things I used to think, used to feel) What happened?

To those days of fun?


[Chorus]

I'm not who I used to be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been caught in a melody

Oh, oh, oh I've been lost inside a dream

Too long and now I'm stranded

I'm not who I used to be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been caught in a melody

And don'tcha know I, I dream of former things (I'm stranded)

'Cause I can't find the magic

Oh, no, no

Oh, no, no


[Refrain]

Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Magic things I used to think, used to feel

Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Are you still inside me, or are you former?

Na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Former things, are you here, are you still inside me?

I [?] former things I remember
