She knows the fear in the eyes of a child
He wants to soar through the air
She?s only now just beginning to rise
Part of him's already there
So she tried to capture the wind in a box
To liven up her rainy day
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 inside
It?s hungry like never before
And she brushez off the temptation to lie
It?s easier just to ignore
And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive
When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies
Happier times seem to balance the lows
And they haven?t got too far to go
No more tears today
No more time to waste
'Cause when I come to the end of the road
I know it?s my time to shine
So he always wanted to be someone else
She sometimes wanted to die
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 then waltzing on glass is no way to survive
When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies
Happier times seem to balance the lows
And they haven?t got too far to go
