There's a calm on your face--
a sadness in your eyes.
I could give you my world,
but it's all black and white.
The silence is ours,
but the moment is gone.
I know that you'll leave,
but you'll wait until dawn.
It's only getting worse.
It's harder at night.
The rain washes over my skin
and swallows me with the light.
Let's swim into the sky--
float to the moon--
sail to the stars.
They'll try to tear us down--
cut off our wings--
keep us from Mars.
And the pills that you keep by your bed...
And the stop signs through which you sped...
We never thought to keep you from harm
as you barreled on-- never looking ahead.
Let's swim into the sky--
float to the moon--
sail to the stars.
They'll try to tear us down--
cut off our wings--
keep us from Mars.
Let's leave it all behind--
escape into the night--
slip into when.
We could risk it all for hope--
see what's at
the rainbow's end.
And there's a look in your eyes
every time you take it laying down.
There's something that that you can't hide
and it's ripping you up somehow.
And all I can do is watch.
And all I can do is wish for you.
You'll never even know my name.
You'll never know how much I'd do.
Time to bring it down again
where the rest of us will see it, too.
It's time to show them what you're made of.
It's time to show then what you can do.
Let's swim into the sky--
float to the moon--
sail to the stars.
They'll try to tear us down--
cut off our wings--
keep us from Mars.
Let's leave it all behind--
escape into the night--
slip into when.
We could risk it all for hope--
see what's at
the rainbow's end.
