Intro verse 1 Long in tooth Olives and vermouth I dine like an aging pilot Where are they now The money and the crowd Must I really come back down Pre-Chorus It's like I never was a kid The big math just wasted youth on me Making impressions like I did Your friends never thought that much of me And now I want to fold Into something else An origami plane To a distant island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to force you to deal I just want to crash through the ceiling Before it gets too real verse 2 All my life Compromise on wings of resignation Big grey eyes staring from the sky Am I humble enough now? Pre-Chorus I've always had something to hide My skinny arms, my evil intentions And back at school hitting the fire alarms Desperately wanting attention Well I was just a boy Out there on my own Wishing I could fly Fantasy island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to bore you to death I just want to crash through the ceiling Get it off my chest Break Pre-Chorus It's like I never was a kid The big math just wasted youth on me Making impressions like I did Your friends never thought that much of me Well I was just a boy Out there on my own Wishing I could fly Fantasy island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to force you to deal I just want to crash through the ceiling Before it gets too real Before it gets too real Before it gets too real Real Outro
