Well, I'm on quite an elevation this time
I'm trying for myself, but I'm flying for someone else
I heard greener days are just ahead
But I'll be banking on those blue skies to welcome me home
I want that last gift
The one I can remember

(Chorus)
'Cause I look forward to the days when you come around
(Days when you come around)
I may not want to do this on my own
(I'm watching you)
And I'll make sure we never leave this place unknown
(Leave this place unknown)
So step up close and drop your guard

I was a fool in the making
Just a credit in a pinball machine
Waiting to get used by another young child
(Another young child)
She wanted to sleep, but I wanted to dream, yeah
It's these times when I'm alone that make me see
Why I let it ride
She's a battery
And I know we'll die
(I know we'll die)

(Repeat Chorus)

Let's take the time to find out why
This could be right for you and I

I went away
But she came instead
And asked too many questions
Nearly lost my head
But what can I say?
I'm ready tonight

I look forward to the days when you come around
(I'm ready tonight)
I may not want to do this on my own
(I'm ready tonight)
And I'll make sure we never leave this place unknown
(I'm ready tonight)
So step up close and drop your guard

(Repeat Chorus)
