Drifting out of time
Something on your mind
And I wanna be the one that you
Call when you get down
No matter where you are in the
World I'll be around
Fly me away on an aeroplane
High in the sky
Wanna see you again
Wanna know this time
Gonna tell you what I'm feeling
Gonna know this time
Gonna get it back that feeling
Miles and miles of sun
Endless roads twist on
Don't wanna live a life in
A world that's all the same
The crazy little things that
You do are so magical
This crazy life
This crazy world
We're living in is magical
