Sara Bareilles — Without A & Believer

1, 2‚ 3 2‚ 2‚ 3 When I was a boy Hardly more than ten years old My family moved to a small town And I was destroyed leaving all my friends behind And if I'd had a choice, we'd've stayed put It's only now I can see Sometimes a little change can be good At the end of the block The ramshackle diner stood My after school stop just to pass time Where I met a girl nearly three times my age But still, she painted my world with her kind words And soft curves Just a schoolboy crush But you remind me of her She saw something in me I was lonely and misunderstood She'd ask me to write down my wildest schemes And over slices of blueberry pie I learned to dream She'd say "What good's a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we're there What good's a hand if nobody needs holdin'? When everything else falls away If no one believes her‚ what good's a dreamer anyway? Thank god for that place It practically saved me Those school kids sure didn't take kind to this stranger And I was eccentric, all grand plans and inventions That I would've just thrown away By listening, she let me have something to say What good's a dreamer without a believer? We all just need someone to care One who might listen and root for our wishes Someone to simply be glad that we’re there What good's a hand if nobody needs holdin'? When everything else falls away If no one believes her‚ what good's a dreamer anyway?
