lyrics
He was a model man
A Beatles fan
A catch in any blessed sea
But he spent every day
A world away
Wondering what he could have been
Watching out the window
City slips away
Generation exit
Help me through today
Hey hey
He had the dream again
The one that ends
Falling to the solid ground
But he could see it now
The where and how
Free and clear and all around
Maybe all the pressure
didn’t make a gem
Anyone can sparkle
We can live again
Take me I am ready
I can feel it kicking in
As he looked out
At the city
And the lights called out “come with me”
All he had to do was open up his arms
Wouldn’t you believe I’m flying for the first time
Know I’m not the first one breaking through the cloud line
It’s awful gray between holding your own
And just hanging around
Hey hey
Take a little piece to use
As a souvenir
Remember where you were before
And just know
You might never be there again
He made the great escape
But wide awake
Mind and body finally free
It only goes to show
The more you know
Doesn’t mean it’s easy to see
Maybe all the pressure
didn’t make a gem
Anyone can sparkle
We can live again
Take me I am ready
I can feel it kicking in
As he looked out
At the city
And the lights called out come with me
All he had to do was open up his arms
Wouldn’t you believe I’m flying for the first time
Know I’m not the only one breaking through the cloud line
Harder than it seems when your racing to the finish line
It’s awful gray between holding your own
And just hanging around
It’s awful gray between holding your own
And just hanging around
Hey hey
A Beatles fan
A catch in any blessed sea
But he spent every day
A world away
Wondering what he could have been
Watching out the window
City slips away
Generation exit
Help me through today
Hey hey
He had the dream again
The one that ends
Falling to the solid ground
But he could see it now
The where and how
Free and clear and all around
Maybe all the pressure
didn’t make a gem
Anyone can sparkle
We can live again
Take me I am ready
I can feel it kicking in
As he looked out
At the city
And the lights called out “come with me”
All he had to do was open up his arms
Wouldn’t you believe I’m flying for the first time
Know I’m not the first one breaking through the cloud line
It’s awful gray between holding your own
And just hanging around
Hey hey
Take a little piece to use
As a souvenir
Remember where you were before
And just know
You might never be there again
He made the great escape
But wide awake
Mind and body finally free
It only goes to show
The more you know
Doesn’t mean it’s easy to see

Wouldn’t you believe I’m flying for the first time
Know I’m not the only one breaking through the cloud line
Harder than it seems when your racing to the finish line
It’s awful gray between holding your own
And just hanging around
It’s awful gray between holding your own
And just hanging around
Hey hey
