We used to fly around the world in a cardboard box
Now you're waiting for the bus trying to fit in with the flock
Different socks
In one hand you got a wild imagination, and in the other is a man against the clock
It never stops
We used to look up at the clouds and see shapes
Now the only thing we see in them is rain
It's not the same
'Cause after all the giant dragons it's a pity the only battle left to fight was with your chains
Cut 'em loose
I liked it better when our dreams were real
And we respected what it was to feel
Nobody ever put a limit on the things that made the littlest of kings seem strong enough to cut through steel
Grip the wheel
It's a whiney little road you paved
It's a shame you had to lose that light
'Cause if it wasn't for the blanket fort walls and the bumps in the night
You'd be nothing but a string without a kite
You're not the astronaut you used to be
Ain't it a shame that you couldn't keep the starlight in your eyes
You're not the hero that you used to be, fading away
Until you're falling out the sky
We used to sail around the world in a porcelain tub
Now we fill it to the brim and try to wash away the mud
It isn't us
In one world you got a wide-eyed adventurer, in the other is a person giving up
It never jumps
We used to play connect the dots with the scars
Now we try to make a connection in bars
It's getting hard
'Cause after every little planet's been exploded
It's impossible to find out where you are
I take it home
I miss the feeling of a brand new start
What it meant to be a child at heart
No matter how it was explained it always felt like if i wanted to i could've built a city in my own back yard
Isengard
You don't have to be a kid to believe
Or see potential in a pile of leaves
If it wasn't for those deep sea dives
And the whisper from the trees
You'd be nothing but a want without a need
You're not the astronaut you used to be
Ain't it a shame that you couldn't keep the starlight in your eyes
You're not the hero that you used to be, fading away
Until you're falling out the sky
I remember you were stuck in a half empty cup
You studied the sun like it was meant to touch
Gotta clutch
Is not enough to escape like the ducks
'Cause they always come back to the muck
struggle for a brush with luck so we can judge your guts like
You still on that such and such?
They can cut the budget
But the puppet struts on two crutches over drums that rush like busted nuts
It's too much now
You want strike like the light without the thunder
Wonder what you're doing up town
You delivering nothing but love
But can't seem to catch a dream when fishing from up above
I don't believe there's a bad bet
'Cause everybody's gonna breathe that last breath
But the things you write, got wings for life
It's the freedom flight, that's how we sleep at night
You're not the astronaut you used to be
Ain't it a shame that you couldn't keep the starlight in your eyes
You're not the hero that you used to be, fading away
Until you're falling out the sky
