She knows the fear in the eyes of a child
|
He wants to soar through the air
|
She¡¯s only now just beginning to rise
|
Part of him's already there
|
|
So she tried to capture the wind in a box
|
To liven up her rainy day
|
And he¡¯s so afraid of what¡¯s waiting up top
|
It¡¯s probably better that way
|
|
Cause he wasn¡¯t that smart and she wasn¡¯t so strong
|
But they went through the motions as if they belonged
|
Playing their parts in this travelling show
|
And they haven¡¯t got too far to go
|
|
So he finds the enemy waiting inside
|
It¡¯s hungry like never before
|
And she brushez off the temptation to lie
|
It¡¯s easier just to ignore
|
|
And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive
|
When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies
|
Happier times seem to balance the lows
|
And they haven¡¯t got too far to go
|
|
No more tears today
|
No more time to waste
|
'Cause when I come to the end of the road
|
I know it¡¯s my time to shine
|
|
So he always wanted to be someone else
|
She sometimes wanted to die
|
They kept believing in spite of themselves
|
Just time to open their eyes
|
|
Cause he wasn¡¯t that smart and she wasn¡¯t so strong
|
But they went through the motions as if they belonged
|
Playing their parts in this travelling show
|
And they haven¡¯t got too far to go
|
|
And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive
|
When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies
|
Happier times seem to balance the lows
|
And they haven¡¯t got too far to go
|
|
Too far to go
|
It's too far
|
To go
|
