Lyrics
Riff 1
I really don't wanna look stupid when I'm sleeping
I never really liked sunny days
The black wings just reach out to me over a distance
And I can feel the wind from the waves
I see the clouds and I feel the ocean with my feet
and I'm home again
It requires an ability to judge distance
The aeroplane flies high, turns left looks right

love is a sentimental heart
life is a sentimental way
spy the fragile heart so cursed
as he walks across this earth
i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promised me
i hope will set you free
i'm disconnected by your smile

I knew where I was going I would already be there
(laugh) ha ha ha ha
I wish I had more time, but...
judicious, beautiful, augmented, whatever
I've always been afraid to die but I think I'm more afraid to live

and all i gave to you is lost
and all you took from me is lost
black wings carry me so high
up to meet you in the sky

i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promised me
i hope will set you free
i'm disconnected by your smile
Riff 2

i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promised me
i hope will set you free
i'm disconnected by your smile

Riff 3
wishing you were real to me
wishing i could make believe
i'll take my secrets to the grave
safely held beneath the waves
always knew i couldn't save
always knew i couldn't save you

And In my heart I know you're there
And In my heart I know you care
And In my heart I know you're gone
