0:16Long in tooth olives and vermouth
0:20I dine like an aging pilot
0:25Where are they now the money and the crowd
0:29Must I really come back down
0:36It's like I never was a kid the big math just wasted youth on me
0:46Making impressions like I did your friends never thought that much of me
0:53And now I want to fall into something else
0:58An origami plane to a distant island
1:02And I don't want to show you my feelings
1:07I don't want to force you to deal
1:12I just want to crash through the ceiling
1:16Before it gets too real
1:30All my life compromise on wings of resignation
1:40Big grey eyes staring from the sky
1:44Am I humble enough now
1:50I've always had something to hide
1:54My skinny arms my evil intentions
1:58And back at school hitting the fire alarms
2:04Desperately wanting attention
2:07Well I was just a boy
2:10Out there on my own
2:12Wishing I could fly
2:15Fantasy island
2:17And I don't want to show you my feelings
2:21I don't want to bore you to death
2:26I just want to crash through the ceiling
2:31Get it off my chest
3:00It's like I never was a kid the big math it wasted youth on me
3:10Making impressions like I did your friends never thought that much of me
3:17Well I was just a boy
3:19Out there on my own
3:22Wishing I could fly
3:24Fantasy island
3:26And I don't want to show you my feelings
3:31I don't want to force you to deal
3:36I just want to crash through the ceiling
3:41Before it gets too real
3:45Before it gets too real
3:50Before it gets too real
3:56Real
4:11Real
Long in tooth olives and vermouth I dine like an aging pilot Where are they now the money and the crowd Must I really come back down It's like I never was a kid the big math just wasted youth on me Making impressions like I did your friends never thought that much of me And now I want to fall into something else An origami plane to a distant island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to force you to deal I just want to crash through the ceiling Before it gets too real All my life compromise on wings of resignation Big grey eyes staring from the sky Am I humble enough now I've always had something to hide My skinny arms my evil intentions And back at school hitting the fire alarms Desperately wanting attention Well I was just a boy Out there on my own Wishing I could fly Fantasy island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to bore you to death I just want to crash through the ceiling Get it off my chest It's like I never was a kid the big math it wasted youth on me Making impressions like I did your friends never thought that much of me Well I was just a boy Out there on my own Wishing I could fly Fantasy island And I don't want to show you my feelings I don't want to force you to deal I just want to crash through the ceiling Before it gets too real Before it gets too real Before it gets too real Real Real
