She knows the fear in the eyes of a child
He wants to soar through the air
She’s only loud when speaking with her eyes
Part of them is already there

So she tried to capture the wind in a box
To liven up her rainy days
And he’s so afraid of what’s waiting up top
It’s probably better that way

Cause he wasn’t that smart and she wasn’t so strong
But they went through the motions as if they belonged
Playing their parts in this travelling show
And they haven’t got too far to go

So he finds the enemy waiting outside
It’s hungry like never before
And she brushed off the temptation and lies
It’s easier just to ignore

And them waltzing on glass is no way to survive
When you trip on the truth, you fall back on the lies
Happier times see to balance those
And they haven’t got too far to go

No more tears today
No more time to waste
I know it’s not my time to shine

So he always wanted to be someone else
She sometimes wanted the time
They kept believing in spite of themselves
Just time to open their eyes

Cause he wasn’t that smart and she wasn’t so strong
But they went through the motions as if they belonged
Playing their parts in this travelling show
And they haven’t got too far to go

And them waltzing on glass is no way to survive
When you trip on the truth, you fall back on the lies
Happier times see to balance those
And they haven’t got too far to go
