the day I learn to fly , I'm never coming down
on perfect I'll rise through the layers of the clouds
and from there I see the neon grids of cities
and six million people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
but the hours crawled by and no one came
so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
to take me from this place... from you
I see myself inside, you dream the dreams that I do,
you're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist
and from there I see the neon grids of cities
and six million people that keep their fires lit
I threw a party in my name
but the hours crawled by and no one came
so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings
to take me from this place... from you
I close my eyes as the curtains draw,
I thought I heard your voice but I thought wrong,
'cause you're not there anymore,
no you're not there anymore
and so I lift my chin and the show goes on,
the sky is listening, the stars all sing along,
but you're not there anymore,
and I just can't care anymore
