Lyrics
The first step is towards the platform
the second is towards the car,
The third step is stepping inside
the fourth is a step too far,
For you are locked inside the train
towards the heavens you're headed,
You cannot escape at this time
then comes the valleys you have dreaded
( chorus )
These roller-coaster days
disappearing from view,
These roller-coaster days
come crashing back to you
The arms you lift to surrender
as if you were flying,
The arms are crazily flaying
you are driven into denying,
Denying your every hope and dream
that is barely staying on track,
For every height you are taken to
you might not be coming back
( chorus )
These roller-coaster days
disappearing from view,
These roller-coaster days
come crashing back to you
White knuckles on metal restraints
fiberglass bodies bending,
The tranquility and predictability
are now sadly ending,
For once again the time is near
these days have come around,
To reach up to the heavens above
then come crashing down
The teeth rattle on words unsaid
all meanings lost in screams,
I want to tell you how I feel
but the wind overpowers the means,
Meaning that I'm a few cars behind
never to move forward or back,
Always a scary time to be had
even though we both know this track
( chorus )
These roller-coaster days
disappearing from view,
These roller-coaster days
come crashing back to you
Shaky hands, and trembling fingers
now reach out for yours,
You have only a choice to make
as they linger on the door,
Will you lift the latches
letting us finally touch the ground
Or will you lift them up in the air
and send us back around ?
( chorus )
These roller-coaster days
disappearing from view,
These roller-coaster days
come crashing back to you
( chorus )
These roller-coaster days
disappearing from view,
These roller-coaster days
come crashing back to you
