The siren screams
And I know I'm on the way
The pain, it seems
Like it's so far away now
You helped me feel like I knew I always could
Even though it's over, I can't say I never would
Do this type of maniacal thing again
My mind's set, you just gotta let me know when
To unleash these thoughts
These feelings, these emotions
To unchain the broken beast
And go through the motions again

I just wanna feel free
Of everything that kills me
I wanna feel free
But I'm afraid
I'm blind
I can't see
Oh, baby, let me know when you're ready
I can't wait to defy gravity
With you

Let's float in the dark sky tonight
Amongst the planets and the stars so bright
We can lift ourselves out of this torture
With a little something we can use to set the marker
And keep going, no stopping, all moving
Like a black hole, we can take in everything
And keep on like nothing's ever gone wrong
We can soar, and swim all night long
Don't worry about work, school or family
They'll understand when they see us defy gravity

It's impossible to ignore the light
When it's shining in your face so bright
So, sweetie, embrace the heat
It's just a side-effect, you will not be beat
No, not with me there by your side
You I've loved you through all the slips and slides
I'll pick you up and take you home
When you can't stand to be alone
Oh, we've all been there before
I know what it's like to want a little more
We'll do it together, hand in hand
We can dance in the moonlight when we reach land
But for now, we stay afloat
On this wonderous, aging boat
You don't want it to end
And I get that we might break and bend
But our love will endure
Of something, I've never been so sure
John
