But you cannot change your heart
It's a compass and a map
The key to the chart
I'd be myself
If I knew who I'd become
You fly too high
And get too close to the sun
See how the boy falls from the sky
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Not every wanderer
Is lost or far from home
I didn't have to move so far
To find myself alone
Save, you save yourself
Can't even get that right
I used to use a single thread to cross the sky
And now the eye of the needle is a heart denied
See how the boy falls from the sky
The city conducts a symphony
The search through shit for melody
A single scrap of dignity
In the junkyard of humanity
On the burning rubble and the sulphur sky
We look for clues yeah, you and I
Although the screams and the sirens wail
Is up for sale
The subway screech soars down the drain
The thunder when there is no rain
So listen hard, listen again
To your own voice and the rain comes back
You know exactly what to do
The you and me, the we and you
Together you start the self esteem
And when you do
And when you do
And you believe
You can change your mind But you cannot change your heart It's a compass and a map The key to the chart I'd be myself If I knew who I'd become You fly too high And get too close to the sun See how the boy falls from the sky Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Not every wanderer Is lost or far from home I didn't have to move so far To find myself alone Save, you save yourself Can't even get that right I used to use a single thread to cross the sky And now the eye of the needle is a heart denied See how the boy falls from the sky The city conducts a symphony The search through shit for melody A single scrap of dignity In the junkyard of humanity On the burning rubble and the sulphur sky We look for clues yeah, you and I Although the screams and the sirens wail Is up for sale The subway screech soars down the drain The thunder when there is no rain So listen hard, listen again To your own voice and the rain comes back You know exactly what to do The you and me, the we and you Together you start the self esteem And when you do And when you do And you believe Explain Request ×
