Standing in the corner Studying the lights Dreaming of escape Could be up at night Someone put the fares up Got me in raise So guess it's better to stay Well, come on and say Well, the food's gonna find us Just the water and rain Don't let the fear install I wanna see you again I hear you never wanna, sleep all night Just not falling in love Stop the ride, come on rage with me Don't need notes We'll be birds To make you look in Look up this morning You and me Get you off your feet Come on, raise it Come on raise this noise One million people, and not one voice Come on, it's not over For me, sing loud Come on, awful love, come away with me We don't need words Close your eyes and see The lumpy boats Falling free Fall in love and I missed you Free as free and free We'll go through this together Fly won't you Won't you take me too? In this world so cruel I think you're so cool
