A thousand miles from home
A million more to go.
I can't keep my eyes open tonight
But at least I tried.
Watch it all fly by
The best years of my life.
We never stood a chance but I guess we
Knew it all along
I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground
This is the life we lead
Like sailors lost at sea
Signed up for this
To go down with the ship
So hold your breath
Waiting for the fall
If it ever comes at all
Cross my heart and hope
I'm not the only one to die alone
Is this what you expected
From the lessons
You never got to learn.
It's hard to imagine
The better it gets
The more it starts to hurt.
A million more to go.
I can't keep my eyes open tonight
But at least I tried.
Watch it all fly by
The best years of my life.
We never stood a chance but I guess we
Knew it all along
I got a lot to say
But I can't make a sound
One day I'll fade away
Buried underground
This is the life we lead
Like sailors lost at sea
Signed up for this
To go down with the ship
So hold your breath
Waiting for the fall
If it ever comes at all
Cross my heart and hope
I'm not the only one to die alone
Is this what you expected
From the lessons
You never got to learn.
It's hard to imagine
The better it gets
The more it starts to hurt.
