In heavy consternation, I move across the hall
I pictured this so many times, I wasn't scared at all
But every time I got this far, I never felt so small
My mind was full of questions, of arguments and lies
But every word was melted down when I looked in your eyes
And I don't need these memories, for now I'm mesmerized
And I'm staring down the barrel of my life
Now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention
How my thoughts dance freely on the journey
you attended all along, to somewhere I belong
Like a pilot in the sky of dreams
Can you promise me the world and everything I need?
Can you promise me the world?
Can you promise me a sky that's trouble-free and clear
so it's safe for me to fly?
But who can stop my plane
from drifting out of range? (Far away)
[CHORUS] Will this sky be precious to defend?
Will my sights go dark before the end?
Will I see the landing lights again?
Can you offer me the speed to travel like the wind
if I ever feel the need?
Can you guarantee the sun won't melt away my wings
way before my journey's done?
And who can stop my plane
from drifting out of range? (Far away)
[CHORUS]
Drifting away, out of the grey and out of control
Such a nice day for drifting away
What became of the blue horizon?
Are you sure I was flying blind?
Never saw that the plane was diving
Never thought I was out of time
And now I'm disenchanted
You endure my disaffection
All my systems running red
The radio is down and there's trouble ahead
Get me back down
I lost my way and I want to be grounded
Get me back down
I lost my way coming out of the storm
(x2)
Did I promise you a sky where rain would never fall,
or did you listen to a lie?
Did you radio to base? I waited for your call,
but you left without a trace
But I can stop your plane
from drifting out of range (Far away)
Still this sky is precious to defend
Still your sights will last until the end
You will see the landing lights again
Now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention
How my thoughts dance freely on the journey
you attended all along, to somewhere I belong
Like a pilot in the sky of dreams
