lyrics

dante travelled through all levels of hell | up the mount of purgatory and through the realms of paradise | he said he was allowed a brief glimpse of god | i imagine as the strobe lights on the wings annihilate the dark | elliott sings and the distant pianos punctuate my new book | a nervous passenger utters holy words | and the girl behind me says she feels she's in a movie well me too | wait until we get to where we're going to || is this running away? | am i soul-searching? | am i chasing a dream? | no i'm wide awake. || i am no columbus, i am no yuri gagarin | i travelled less than laika | barcelona through berlin | never will we be together this young | will you trade with me in memories to forget to remember once again | have you looked outside the window? | well babe that's the real world | let it break your heart but never break your will | and i can't explain if i am homeless on a plane it's the most complete i've been | sitting there in limbo looking out the window || i’m not running away | i’m not soul-searching | i’d be living the dream if you were with me | life is short but it's the longest time i could ever know | i want tales for the grandkids come on it's time to go | i’ve got to go somewhere | i’ve got to go somewhere | i’ve got to go somewhere || i never should have had coffee number three | my heart is in my mouth excitement anxiety | and i could run away to the wilderness | to search inside my soul for a voice a route to suit me best | but i have no soul of my own we all have one small piece of one big soul | leaves on the family tree | and the wilderness is no good for us there's a tale to be told | unless my piece of soul is with the rest i will never be whole | i will never be whole || i’m not running away | i’m not soul-searching | i’d be living the dream if you were with me | life is short but it's the longest time i could ever know | i want tales for the grandkids come on it’s time to go | i got to go somewhere | i got to go somewhere | i got to go somewhere | and find the long way home | home | home
