A Chance to Fly
I heard the mountains
Calling out in distress
Saying come on over
And fix our loneliness
It's been a while but
I know I still belong
Where the windows look like paintings
Hung up on the wall
And those nights
Stars and crooked alibis
Well we finally could take on the world
From the edges of our seat
Waiting only for a chance to fly
Somewhere that's not here tonight
We watched as the
Sun fell low in the sky
Yeah and the atmosphere
Burned red through the pines
And I saw angels gasp at the
Snow capped peaks
Saying wouldn't it be nice
If our gowns were white as these
The here and now
Just took its leave with tomorrow
Well I heard that they're
Going way out west
I'll be ready in the morning
I'll pack my things and rewrite my fate
And I'll see you again some sunny day
I remember the thirteenth fire
Burning bright
The shadows tricked our eyes
We saw the ghosts flying overhead
From all the dreams that we lost
Spending our time growing up instead
And those nights
Stars and crooked alibis
Well we finally could take on the world
From the edges of our seat
Waiting only for a chance to fly
Somewhere that's not here tonight
I heard the mountains
Calling out in distress
Saying come on over
And fix our loneliness
It's been a while but
I know I still belong
Where the windows look like paintings
Hung up on the wall
And those nights
Stars and crooked alibis
Well we finally could take on the world
From the edges of our seat
Waiting only for a chance to fly
Somewhere that's not here tonight
We watched as the
Sun fell low in the sky
Yeah and the atmosphere
Burned red through the pines
And I saw angels gasp at the
Snow capped peaks
Saying wouldn't it be nice
If our gowns were white as these
The here and now
Just took its leave with tomorrow
Well I heard that they're
Going way out west
I'll be ready in the morning
I'll pack my things and rewrite my fate
And I'll see you again some sunny day
I remember the thirteenth fire
Burning bright
The shadows tricked our eyes
We saw the ghosts flying overhead
From all the dreams that we lost
Spending our time growing up instead
And those nights
Stars and crooked alibis
Well we finally could take on the world
From the edges of our seat
Waiting only for a chance to fly
Somewhere that's not here tonight
