White Lies Songtext
von Chipmunk

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride
And they would all come to life
If we all had dreams we′d be starry eyed
And they would all come to life
And I'd be telling you white lies
Yeah I′d be telling you white lies

Check, would you believe me
If I told you some people do anything to please me
From burning my own CD as a freebie
To shopping, taking pictures with my fans in Sainsbury's
Like I wonder if this company still got my CV
Dipping into my pocket, no wallet I'm feeling jeans
But this pocket full of dreams ain′t buying me what I need
They say I shouldn′t love this paper cos it's only made from trees
But I need this lavish life and LV just isn′t free
Let's ride


If wishes were horses then beggars would ride
And they would all come to life
If we all had dreams we′d be starry eyed
And they would all come to life
And I'd be telling you white lies
Yeah I′d be telling you white lies

See I was crying out for help but ain't nobody hear my screams
Plus the Lord's the only person I let see me on my knees
I don′t wanna hear myself, turn me off don′t turn me up
And they kick you when you're down so now the trick is to stay up
Plus as long as I′m alive, guess I'm running out of time
Cuh my roadie hands ain′t sweeping anti-clockwise
And some get left behind who don't move with the times
Looking back the only thing I would′ve changed was my mind
Let's ride

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride
And they would all come to life
If we all had dreams we'd be starry eyed
And they would all come to life
And I′d be telling you white lies
Yeah I′d be telling you white lies


And when the reason that you fail ain't because you never plan
Now you′re looking at your legs tryna work out where you stand
See my dream came to life, MLK's came to death
Product of your imagination running faster than your legs
Now I feel I need to live, before I end up lifeless
I′m tryna buy time even though it's priceless
Dealing with the pressures of the game
Like I know that it′s my decade it don't have to be my day
Let's ride

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride
And they would all come to life
If we all had dreams we′d be starry eyed
And they would all come to life
And I′d be telling you white lies
Yeah I'd be telling you white lies
