lyrics

somebody traded their name for mine
they mailed the letter once
and sent it back twice
to copyright my time
white lies grey as a goose
in a bottleneck sky
we fly up so high
some fly as high as a kite
some fall down to the ground
with no wind to get high again
we'll have a better day
when we're flying straight
a line worn thin
by stepping on and on
a line drawn in the sand
this balance beam is wearing thin
turned to a tight rope and now
you know i'm teetering
between the gold and the bronze
doing well but too bad to have won
i've been so high but i'm on the ground
gravity has pulled all my hair out
and taped my mouth closed
and yet all that shimmers ain't gold
we'll make our own way
we'll lay our own cement lane
choose a path and be blessed by the rain
it might sound insane
flying free through the acid rain
never hindered by the pain
untouched by the plane
not for the heart of the faint
i am standing on the other side
of the tunnel where there is a light
i can only see your eyes silhouette
as i draw the line in the cement
i read your lips and i start to twitch
i'll see you on the other side
at the end of the line
i've seen the light
we'll have a better day
when we're flying straight
