Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been packin' you bags
For the tenth time
You've been up on the roof again
[Verse 2]
So you're biding your time
But it's all right comin' any week now
[Verse 3]
Oh, left behind by the mothership
They're our only real friends
[Verse 4]
But inside, inside, you'll always feel the same
Even when you wake up
Even if you wake up
[Verse 5]
In a town where everyone will kick and scream
And come to the same conclusion every time
Time to realize you were never on the team
That was always a question hangin' over you
[Verse 6]
In a hot air balloon with a rusty nail
Looking over your shoulder and setting sail
[Verse 7]
Well, your dreams will become
Part of the future and coincide with the past
[Verse 8]
You spend all your time by the radio
Waiting for the the signal
[Verse 9]
But inside, inside you'll always feel the same
Even when you wake up
Even if you wake up
[Verse 10]
In a town where everyone will kick and scream
And come to the same conclusion every time
Time to realize you were never on the team
That was always a question hangin' over you
In a hot air balloon with a rusty nail
Looking over your shoulder and setting sail
[Verse 11]
Drive the same road
They drive the same road
They drive the same road
Drifting over to your side
[Verse 12]
Drive the same road
They drive the same road
They drive the same road
Drifting over to your side
[Verse 13]
Drive the same road
They drive the same road
They drive the same road
Drifting over to your side
[Verse 14]
They drive the same road
They drive the same road
They drive the same road
Turn the lights and start again
[Verse 15]
They sail the same strait
They sail the same strait
They sail the same strait
Turn the lights on again
[Verse 16]
They sail the same strait
They sail the same strait
They sail the same strait
Turn the lights on again
[Verse 17]
They sail the same strait
They sail the same strait
They sail the same strait
Turn the lights on again
