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)
