Can't you see the words in the clouds
They can hear me
Tales they heard down south
The sail to me
Home home home
Where we belong
But we're trapped here
Broken and alone
One last wish
To be somebody
It all comes to this
Don't they want me
Don't you hear the words in the wind
They're escaping
I followed as much as I can
But I keep failing
To be me me me
Safe in my sanctuary
Our asylum
Home of the extraordinary
One last wish
To he somebody
It all comes to this
Don't they want me
One last wish
To be somebody
It all comes to this
Don't they want me

Maybe it was the look she gave to me
When I walked in from the hall
Sat amongst the strangers
Who'd throw me up against the wall
Stride across the dance floor
Confidence I try to give
That's the gift she gave to me
In the life that we would live
When I close my eyes I see these things
Breaks me everytime I do
And it's all because when I look in those eyes
You don't remember me and you
The walks were long and scenic
And the kids have almost grew
If only you could see them now
They remind me so much of you
I wish I could say it's easy
You'd tell I'm lying straight away
Times we wasted shouting
Now I wish this silence would break
I thought that I could do this
When you told me I was strong
Believed what came from you
But now the last goodbye it's wrong
Trying my best to look up and forward
Keep the darkness beneath the light
Even now you make things easy
You make up for half my might
The jumps are all behind us
Made it to the crest of our hill
Words don't seem to be so easy
And the water seems so still
Trying my best to look up and forward
Trying my best to look up and forward
Trying my best to look up and forward
Trying my best to look up and forward
