Caught Up In A Dream (It’s Over)

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 even though we swear we won’t
something sucks us in
armchair managers emerge
when the games begin
once again we do it all
ev’ry time it seems
caught up in the flow and vibe
caught up in the dream

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 drenched in optimism
of all that lay in store
hopes rained down like beer in cups
thrown each time we score
looking back it’s easy
saying where we failed
where the game was won and lost
where we got derailed
let’s be honest let’s be clear
for a little while
Spain were something else out there
the quality and style
one more lesson learned again
from a stunning team
who performed as one throughout
caught up in the dream

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 but this is not the time to rage
we’ve been here before
ifs and buts and hindsight
don’t matter any more
let’s be glad we got so far
let’s applaud our side
let’s recall the good bits
felt along the ride
let’s not pick on Gareth
let’s not pick on Kane
let’s not look for culprits
let’s acknowledge Spain
let’s remember one thing
when you love a team
all you want is just to be
caught up in the dream

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 but oh to have the confidence
oh to press and play
the vision flair and passion
and that winning way
in the end you realize
through all the stuff you’ve seen
that you forgot the weather here
caught up in the dream
