Won't you open your eyes so I can fall asleep tonight Can we stop playing pretend? It's time to take off these disguises again
Let's move to a foreign land Where we can both live like kings Chased by our wildest desires Never needing to worry about anything The life of royalty never seemed so grand But for you I'd live like a peasant Dying just to exceed your every demand
Maybe I think too much Sometimes I fear not enough But as long as I lie here awake, I'll watch you, beautiful and lush
Three cheers for disappointment Three cheers for long-lost chances But I'll drink to optimism So long as hope waits beyond the horizon Let's sail away on this sinking ship Into the sunset and never come to Grips with reality, lifes greatest formality Until we burn away like moths left to a flame
When I dream I fear Once I wake up, you'll no longer be here And I'll fall straight off these cliffs Into those rocks and pray I miss and land in ocean blue But will I drown without you?
I'm rusty with old spare parts Like a broken down car that barely starts Marooned at the side of the road With no one left to guide me home A hardened sailor left at sea Dark storms mask the stars that shepherd me [need to fill need to fill]
Three cheers for disappointment Three cheers for long-lost chances But I'll drink to optimism So long as hope waits beyond the horizon Let's sail away on this sinking ship Into the sunset and understand that You are meant for me And maybe we're meant to be So won't you follow me tonight Let's go to [distant/far off] places We'll never look back or count our paces The distance won't matter as long as I'm with you because My heart burns for yours like a moth left to a flame
