Up and away, up and away
Stop the world and save tomorrow
Oh, I know; we're headed the wrong way,
The wrong way
There's a fire ignited in my veins
A spark in my heart, a spark in my soul for you
And you
Will see me bleed
For you
Every morning, we awake
To the outcomes of our mistakes
We can make it if we just keep heading straight
But the closer we get, the further we are from having everything we want
The closer we drive, the harder we try to stand up tall
Oh, the closer we get,
The further we fall.
Back and forth we go,
From the sidewalk into the road
And with every step, we catch our breath
But we've still got ways to go
'Cuz the path that we're walking is unclear
And we can't see the way from down here
So we try and fly over the skyline
But the closer we get, the further we are from having everything we want
The closer we drive, the harder we try to stand up tall
Oh, the closer we get,
The further we fall.
We fly so far, and fall so fast
We can't look down as clouds move past
Above the stars as they collide
and catch us fighting,
Fighting to survive
(Up and away, far away)
But the closer we get, the further we are from having everything we want
The closer we drive, the harder we try to stand up tall, oh
But the closer we get, the further we are from having everything we want
The closer we drive, the harder we try to stand up tall
The closer we get,
the further we fall.
