Lyrics
[Verse 1]: Dreams stay with you. Always on my mind, I've got a lust for life. Seasons bring truth. When I found mine, it was summertime.

[Chorus]: It's the middle of the night and I'm so gone, And I'm thinking about how much I need you, But you really want somebody else. Should be given the right to carry on, I'm still thinking about how much I need you, But you really want somebody else. You're not the one, Guess you're not the one.

[Verse 2]: Street's like a zoo, Those city lights, love at first sight. Silent rays of blue, They slowly glide right down my spine.

[Chorus]: It's the middle of the night and I'm so gone, And I'm thinking about how much I need you, But you really want somebody else. Should be given the right to carry on, I'm still thinking about how much I need you, But you really want somebody else. You're not the one, Guess you're not the one. You're not the one, Guess you're not the one.

[Bridge]: I was enjoying the ride, But now we're standing on the grave sight. Left unsatisfied, I won't even bother to fight. I know…

[Outro]: You're not the one. You're not the one.
