Don't Dream It's Over

The song Don't Dream It's Over performed by Crowded house orignal lyrics written by Neil Finn. Whenever I heard this song I thought of alternate lyrics about a break up, so I rewote it in 2001. Each line matches with the original pattern in the song.

There is freedom within there is freedom without.
I try to piece my life back together like a puzzle.
There's a battle ahead, with you battles are lost.
But I never thought you'd see the end road while you're traveling with me.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over.
Hey now, hey now, my world crashes.
You come, you come, to build a wall between us.
We know that I won't win.

Now you're coming home late, won't look me in the eyes.
Your actions are causing me suspicsion but there's no proof.
In the dark of the night I call out your name, but you turn right over like I wasn't there.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over.
Hey now, hey now, my world crashes.
You come, you come, to build a wall between us.
We know that I won't win.

Now I'm walking alone.
Can't believe that you're gone, and I'm counting the steps away from your heart.
Only lonliness ahead and memories of you.
Get to know the feeling of betrayal and heartache.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over.
Hey now, hey now, my world crashes.
You come, you come, to build a wall between us.
We know that I won't win.

Original:


There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
