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
