The day i learn to fly, i'm never coming down
On perfect wings i'll rise through the layers of the clouds
And from there i see the neon grids of cities
Where six million people that keep their fires lit
And 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
Where six million people that can keep their fires lit
And 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
And 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
