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

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, 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
