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

(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
