Caffeine & Daydreams
By Marsha Greene
(Verse 1)
Sun’s up, sneakers on, hit the ground and I’m already gone,
Big rush, heart’s loud, chasing skies I can’t live without.
Notebook full of half-scribbled plans,
Pocket full of hope and trembling hands—
But I’m moving, yeah I’m moving,
On a promise I believe in.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every detour, every long night,
Got me learning how to hold the light.
And even when I’m running thin—
I feel the fire start again.
(Chorus)
’Cause I’m running on caffeine and daydreams,
Trying to catch the life that’s calling me.
Feet on the pavement, soul in the breeze—
I’m finding my peace, I’m finding my peace.
Oh, fueled by a wild heart that won’t sleep,
I stumble but I fall forward beautifully.
Every sunrise whispers what I need—
Keep chasing the dream, chasing the dream.
(Verse 2)
Late nights, screen glow, little victories nobody knows,
Deep breath, let go, learning how to take it slow.
I’m not perfect but I’m getting there,
Laughing with the wind tangled in my hair—
And I’m growing, yeah I’m growing,
Every time my doubts start showing.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every setback, every near miss,
Teaches me the strength in all of this.
And even when I’m losing steam—
I ride the rhythm of the dream.
(Chorus)
’Cause I’m running on caffeine and daydreams,
Trying to catch the life that’s calling me.
Feet on the pavement, soul in the breeze—
I’m finding my peace, I’m finding my peace.
Oh, fueled by a wild heart that won’t sleep,
I stumble but I fall forward beautifully.
Every sunrise whispers what I need—
Keep chasing the dream, chasing the dream.
(Bridge)
Maybe peace don’t come in quiet,
Maybe it’s found when you dare to try it—
When the world says "stop," but your heart says "go,"
And you trust that little spark you know.
Oh I know, I know—
This is how I grow.
(Final Chorus)
Running on caffeine and daydreams,
Every heartbeat writing new stories.
Feet on the pavement, soul in the breeze—
I’m finally at peace, I’m finally at peace.
Oh, fueled by the bright fire in me,
I stumble but I rise up endlessly.
Every sunrise shouting what I need—
Keep chasing the dream, chasing the dream.
