She knows the fear in the eyes of a child He wants to soar through the air She's only now beginning to rise Part of them's already there
So she tried to capture the wind in a box To liven up her rainy day And he's so afraid of what's waiting up top It's probably better that way
Cause he wasn't that smart and she wasn't so strong But they went through the motions as if they belonged Playing their parts in this travelling show And they haven't got too far to go
So he finds the enemy waiting inside It's hungry like never before And she brushez off the temptation to lie It's easier just to ignore
And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive When you trip on the truth, you fall back on the lies Happier times seem to balance those And they haven't got too far to go
No more tears today No more time to waste 'cause when I come to the end of the road I'm know it's my time to shine
So he always wanted to be someone else She sometimes wanted to die They kept believing in spite of themselves Just time to open their eyes
Cause he wasn't that smart and she wasn't so strong But they went through the motions as if they belonged Playing their parts in this travelling show And they haven't got too far to go
And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive When you trip on the truth, you fall back on the lies Happier times seem to balance those And they haven't got too far to go
