[Verse 1]
In heavy consternation I move across the hall
I pictured this so many times
I wasn't scared at all
But every time I got this far I never felt so small
My mind was full of questions
Of arguments and lies
But every word was melted down
When I looked in your eyes
And I don't need these memories
For now I'm mesmerized
And I'm staring down the barrel of my life
[Refrain]
Now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention
How my thoughts dance freely on the journey
You intended all along, to somewhere I belong
Like a pilot in the sky of dreams
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Can you promise me the world and everything I need
Can you promise me the world
Can you promise me a sky that's trouble free and clear
So it's safe for me to fly
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But who can stop my plane (stop my plane)
From drifting out of range (far away)
[Chorus 1]
Will this sky be precious to defend?
Will my sights go dark before the end?
Will I see the landing lights again?
[Verse 3]
Can you offer me the speed
To travel like the wind if I ever feel the need
Can you guarantee the sun won't melt away my wings
Way before my journey's done
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And who can stop my plane (stop my plane)
From drifting out of range (far away)
[Chorus 1]
Will this sky be precious to defend?
Will my sights go dark before the end?
Will I see the landing lights again?
[Bridge]
Drifting away (drifting away)
Out of the grey and out of control
Such a nice day (such a nice day) for drifting away
[Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 4]
What became of the blue horizon
Are you sure I was flying blind
Never saw that the plane was diving
Never thought I was out of time
And now I'm disenchanted
You endure my disaffection
All my systems running red
The radio is down and there's trouble ahead
[Bridge 2]
Get me back down
I lost my way and I want to be grounded
Get me back down
I lost my way coming out of the storm
[Keyboard Solo]
[Bridge 2]
Get me back down
I lost my way and I want to be grounded
Get me back down
I lost my way coming out of the storm
[Guitar/Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 5]
Did I promise you a sky where rain would never fall
Or did you listen to a lie
Did you radio to base
I waited for your call but you left without a trace
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But I could stop your plane (stop your plane)
From drifting out of range (far away)
[Chorus 2]
Still this sky is precious to defend
Still your sights will last until the end
You will see the landing lights again
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention
How my thoughts dance freely on the journey
You intended all along, to somewhere I belong
Like a pilot in the sky of dreams
