Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had  And I know that I'll never go back  To the christmas colored neighborhood as thoughtful as a card  With a plastic baby jesus in the yard    Chorus    It was all and it was nothing at all  It was all and it was nothing at all    What we didn't know we didn't think to ask  The world was just a globe they used in class  Where the gym teacher was always mad and as far as we could tell  He only exercised his right to yell    Chorus    As the kings of boredom we ruled as we knew how  Or at least as long as our curfews would allow  Couple skates, love-sick songs, in moments without pause  As johnny cougar amplified our cause    Chorus    We were the great believers that dreams came with stars  And freedom just depended on the car  Until one day the sky fell in and freedom lost control  And ran off the road and hit a pole    Chorus    Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
