Suddenly you notice all your photos on the shelf. And you don't even recognize the versions of yourself. Staring back and smiling with a glimmer in your eye.
To touch the sky a dreamer must be. Someone who has more imagination than me. To reach the stars a dreamer must fly. Somehow he must live more of a lifetime than I.
One more compromise I won't be making. One more easy way out I won't be taking. So many chances don't come twice. So many eyes are made of ice. One more cheating hand I won't be shaking.
I prefer to spend my time in solitary ways. Keepin' myself to myself. Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away. Livin' with somebody else.
You don't fool me with your tinted eyes and make-up. The fire bird hides in shadow when you wake up. Your golden hair is black, your jeans are tight but your hide is slack.
"Go back home", you damn fool. Surely you know you can't win. You should've never have come near this place. You should have stayed outside. (Lookin' up).
