[Verse 1]
Well hello sir, we look for Mondays
Confident we'll get there someday
Pushing all the papers to a wealthy man
Might I say, a beautiful tie you wear
And how do you find such lovely polka dots and stripes these days?

[Pre-Chorus]
Break all my thoughts hit the floor
Like I'm making the score
I'm the king of the world
I'm a popular man
Count by zeros to ten
If you can't, well, I can
Don't let any one wake me

[Chorus]
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
And all at once, so familiar it seems
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit into piece of apart of me

[Verse 2]
Curtain calls and sanctuaries
Actors in the cloth, they freak me out
Mocking my purpose, in the magazines
Famous how they make you feel grand
They're always there to hold your hand
In times of trouble, they're best of friends

[Pre-Chorus]
Break all my thoughts hit the floor
Like I'm making the score
I'm the king of the world
I'm a popular man
Count by zeros to ten
If you can't, well, I can
Don't let any one wake me

[Chorus]
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
And all at once, so familiar it seems
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit into piece of apart of me

[Bridge]
They don't care what you say
They don't care what you think
All they care, what you do
Long as you're on beat
Take a look at yourself

[Pre-Chorus]
Storm tries to come and wreck my world
No, I won't let it
Stumble to escape, through anchored drapes, made of bedding

[Chorus]
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
And all at once, so familiar it seems
I'm dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud
Can't find a puzzle to fit into piece
I'm dreaming out loud, out lout
Can't find a puzzle to fit into piece of apart of me, yeah

[Outro]
Well hello sir, we look for Mondays

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
