Here but never lingers
Slipping through my fingers
Like water in my hands
My invisible friend
I'm at your attention
Here in your dimension
It's the hour glass of time
The unbreakable line
What am I
What am I
What am I supposed to do with
All my life
All my life
When you spread your wings and
Fly away
Fly away
'Cause I got so much left to do and I can't wait
I need a change, to find a way
To get living
No I don't wanna chase you
Don't wanna chase you but I do
It's a revelation
A total liberation
The higher that I climb
Leaves me further behind
It's the burden we all bear
That you can't see but it's there
It's a story as old as time
Construct of the mind
Until we fly
Fly away
Fly away
'Cause I got so much left to do and I can't wait
I need a change, to find a way
To get living
No I don't wanna chase you
Don't wanna chase you but I do
What am I
What am I
What am I supposed to do with
All my life
All my life
When you spread your wings and
Fly away
Fly away
'Cause I got so much left to do and I can't wait
I need a change, to find a way
To get living
No I don't wanna chase you
Don't wanna chase you but I do
