Already

Don't look up too quick
You'll see the sky is falling down on you
And when you run on empty
The ground will wait to swallow you

I have a dream returning every night
The goal is out of reach but still in sight
I'm getting thin but grinning every day
I run on empty too much, it's just my way

And in all your dreams doesn't it seem
That you're wearing lead boots, growing tree routes, caught in quicksand?
I can see ahead the end of the line
This is some kind of meltdown just in time
I see declining empires fade away
The games were getting ugly anyway

You live your life like it's on rails
No choice where you go, you're on rails

We stumble through
And i think i am linked up to you
'cos i can never think of you without this sorow

What can you do
In the face of all your dreams
When your destination's never where it seemed, where it seemed

We like to think that we choose our fortune
Like spinning a whell
But with leaves on the track you tell me
How does it feel?

The next big thing
Life can be so calm
The next big thing
So calm without you

I am waiting for the next big thing
Bring it on quick time to me
I tap my fingers to the same old thing
And dream of better things to see

I couldn't tell you what path it comes by
I couldn't tell you if it's plain to see
I couldn't tell you if it's gonna change the world
But i hope to hell it's gona chagne me

I am waiting fo rthe next big thing
I'm scared of all that's behind me
All my faith is in the next big thing
It's where i'll hide what you don't see

I couldn't tell you what clothes it wears
I couldn't tell yo if it's black or white
I couldn't tell you if it's gonna change the world
But any change at all would be alright

Round and round the world we go
Back and forth in time
Always looking for the new sensation
Bigger and better every time

So calm without you, without you, without you, without you

For the first time in my life
I know how i want to go
Spin through the warm air
To a thousand feet below
The top of the world's the place
Where the canyons fall below
And you can see from the there
To the depts of your soul

I'm not there yet
Not weak enough yet
I'll keep paying my bills
If this is as hard as it gets
On top of the world
On top of the world

Walk up to the edge
And the silence fills your head
You'll find right there
If you will lead or just be led

I'm not there yet
Not weak enough yet
Don't flatter me now

I'm not there yet
Not weak enough yet
Don't forgive all my sins
If this is as hard as it gets

I'm not there yet
Not weak enough yet
Keep my name in your book

He doesn't have a friend just some occupations
Staring at the sky or at computer screens
It gets you in the neck, all this looking skywards
But every marty knows that you suffer in belief

But if only you could see that things that he has seen!
'cos he knows that he can tell you just what all this means

He knows, it's true that they're our there
He knows, it's true that they're our there
And there's very little faith left on this world

There's so much in the sky, it must be hiding something
He thinks that he's prepared and he's counting down the days

And if only you could see the things that he has seen!
'cos he's sure that he could tell you just what all this means

It's so easy when we sneer
And mock the faith that he holds dear
But just like us he's chasing dreams

If you look hard enough then you'll see it clearly
There's something that we need always coming from the sky

And there's very little faith left on this world

Live fast die young, the words of a fool it seems
Hell bent getting there, seeing nothing on the way
Where are you now, when all eyes would be on you
Dumbstruck, disappeared, leaving everything to do

You were wishing it away

Sail up the stream travel so far
But always get out of the boat
Sail up the stream travel far
But always leave the boat

Here in my hands; all that i could wish for
Timebomed, stick around see it all go up in smoke
With these very hands, i'll pull it all apart
I know in the end it'll sound like some sad joke

'cos i'll be wishing it away

Wishing it away
Wishing it away

Nothing is sacred, not life nor hapiness
Least of all is the world that we live in unless we make it pay

We're wishing it away

I never wrote a book like the ones i like to read
'cos aiming for the stars, well, it brings me to my knees
I thought i handled sin when it was sin that handled me
When i thought i saw the light
I couldn't see the wood for the trees

There's a man on the moon
And he says that he's not coming down
But he's thinking of you every time the world spins around

I could never eat enough so i bit the hand that fed
Always talked too much but most was left unsaid

I lost friends and influenced no-one
Announced the ending before it was over
Fought accusations that i was jaded
But i look at the stars and know their lights already faded
