Yeah!
And they said I was a dreamer
I heard them say
Yeah, I heard them say
There's something wrong with that boy
Look at him, he's got his head in the clouds
Yeah, there's light in the apartment, but I don't think anyone's there
He's totally gone into his daydreams, it's not normal
There's no respect for authority, and he's also socially awkward
How should we reach him?
If we send him out on the playground
He's always in fights, far to many for us to do something about it
So my teachers gave up on me and said "He doesn't fit in here"
It was in the school yard I developed
But if I as a child hadn't felt like a little alien
I might never have learned to ignore the voice of a hater
I might never have fought
Never found my courage to go out in the world and say "See, I've got ideas in my head"
I might not have become a fight, I might never have dared
To risk everything with Joey, end up on tour with Nick and Jay
If I wasn't the same dreamer I am today
The child who looked up on the sky and said:
Do you think there might be life somewhere out there?
Do you think they know about love?
I don't think I'll be happy here
Hey star, there's got to be more
Take me out below your shooting stars
Take me where I can fly again
Take me away, anywhere, as long as it isn't here
Hey star, there's got to be more
They could say whatever they wanted
I was so done with trying to fit in
Shit, I learned to fight at a young age
Fuck turning the other cheek
Found something I was good at, and then I became the best one
I learned to be different
It cost me some beatings
but because I survived when they pulled that knife on me
It has made smart enough to write these tracks
Because I know that the game of life can end in one move
So I know there's no time for fear or stage fright
Yeah, I've always been a freak
And seen the world in words
Until the day I received that call from Seebach and his brother1
It made my future a whole lot easier
The fucking history of Denmark - and the story carries on
But I reinvented a genre - the beats came from Burhan2
Now-now-now there is sold out in every city on my tour plan
Just because I was a dreamer and still am today
The boy who looked up at the sky and said:
Do you think there might be life somewhere out there?
Do you think they know about love?
I don't think I'll be happy here
Hey star, there's got to be more
Take me out below your shooting stars
Take me where I can fly again
Take me away, anywhere, as long as it isn't here
Hey star, there's got to be more
Hey star
In the distance
Hey star
Hey star, there's got to be more
Take me out below your shooting stars
Take me where I can fly again
Take me away, anywhere, as long as it isn't here
Hey star, there's got to be more
Dedicated to all the freaks out there
Those who dream
In the back of the bus, in the back of the classroom
Us who say: Hey star, there's got to be more!
