Could we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now, Wish right now)
I'm praying that this stairway
Leads somewhere like Heaven's door
And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, Don't look down)
I remember the first day of school,
When you walked right next to me
You taught me everything that I know
And you always knew what to say
Time goes on
Now every word in every damn song
Reminds me of your face (You were part of me, You were part of me)
I didn't know everything I've got
Now I know that you are gone
Feel you right here next to me
Though I know that you've moved on
But the hardest thing of all is knowing
I didn't get to say (You were everything, You were everything)
Could we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now, Wish right now, now)
I'm praying that this stairway
Leads somewhere like Heaven's door
And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, Don't look down)
And all the people say,
Iiii Iiii Iiii Ha
And all the people say,
Iiii Iiii Iiii Uh
Listen
Oh
People kill what they don't understand
All the legends they die in, at the hands of lesser men
Jesus and JFK and Marvin and Biggie Man
I wonder if life after death
Was ever fair for them
Live in the moment,
I was never really one to plan
So many things I wasn't meant ever to understand
What if Alice imagined her trip to Wonderland
And why didn't Paul have shoes
Like the rest of them did
So many memories I passed up when I was away
All the experiences I couldn't ever replace
All the million times my heart, a part of it break
I guess I'm harder for the hardships that I had to face
Before every single show, I pray 'til I sweat
I give my heart to a thousand people I never met
And then I let it all go, the pain and regret
Hope God forgive me
For the sins that I'm about to commit
Don't wanna get by, I wanna excel
I know life is like the crossroads for heaven and hell
Right and wrong, sometimes It's just so hard to tell
But at least I'm saving others If I'm losing myself
Could we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now, wish right now)
I'm praying that this stairway
Leads somewhere like Heaven's door
And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, don't look down)
Airplanes in the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
The Man Who Can't Be Moved
So I'm not moving; I'm not moving.

Someday Soon
I think it's time to put myself away
Seek out a little silence
Close the doors and sit a while
Walk a little
And as I put my words away
The flow slows
See this penny in a stream
Picking it up is easy.
Follow the shape of it.
Jump in.
Swallow it whole.
Jump in.
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something new I found
Holding on for finding solid ground
Someday soon.
Someday soon.
I'll turn myself into the grass
And I'll grow
Take this space above my head
And live a little, little.
Gonna wear my feathered headdress
Like an Indian chief.
Gonna stretch out both my arms
I'm gonna test the temperature.
Follow the taste of it.
Jump in.
Swallow it whole.
Jump in.
Even though I know my way around (even though)
Possibly there's something new I found (possibly I, possibly I)
Holding on for finding solid ground (ohh..)

What am I doing?
Stop sitting here staring into space. Man up and do this.
You don't want to do something that you'll probably regret for the rest of your life.
There are some chances you have to take. There are some you just shouldn't even consider.
Frankly, you won't be missing much anyways.

Edge of Uncertainty
"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So, throw off the bowlines: sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain
