A thousand miles from home A million more to go. I can't keep my eyes open tonight But at least I tried. Watch it all fly by The best years of my life. We never stood a chance but I guess we Knew it all along I got a lot to say But I can't make a sound One day I'll fade away Buried underground This is the life we lead Like sailors lost at sea Signed up for this To go down with the ship So hold your breath Waiting for the fall If it ever comes at all Cross my heart and hope I'm not the only one to die alone Is this what you expected From the lessons You never got to learn. It's hard to imagine The better it gets The more it starts to hurt.
