I won't settle for this
With open arms and unclenched fists
Cause someday they'll pass my stone
To throw a flower, drop a kiss
And i won't walk all over you
And heaven knows you asked me too
But even if you're by my side
Heaven just won't do
And i want this world at my fingertips
Its people at my feet
To give me all the things that i desire
But i could never need
And its for this desperation
I pull the stars right out of space
Load them in my pistol
Make the world a better place
And the fences can not keep me out
Of a world they hadn't told me about
Someday i'll split that skyline
Oh this machine is built to climb
And i will not say i lied to you
Even when its close to true
Cause baby when you're close to me
I can never feel you
And i want this world at my fingertips
It's people at my feet
To give me all the things that i desire
But i could never need
And it's for this desperation
I pull the stars from outterspace
Load them in my pistol
Make the world better
Tearing down is building
Oh baby can't you see
That losing you is finding all that i could never be
And if hurting you were murder
There's no other thought i'd bleed
Then to curse the bloody fingertips
That did this all to me
And i want this world at my fingertips
Its people at my feet
To give me all the things that i desire
And nothing that i need
And laws of time and vision
Put the stars back in the space
Throw away the pistol
Make the world a better place
