Lyrics
I'd like to float into the sky,
And I'd see everything from 8 miles high.
I'd like to melt into the rain,
Away from eveything, away from pain.
I'd like to sink into a stream,
And I'd let everything wash over me.
No wolf, no door, no outlaw schemes,
I'd just let everything wash over me.
Well who'd believe it?
It's in plain sight.
Take it or leave it,
Your old man was right;
There's no free ride.
I'd like to float into the sky,
And I'd see everything from 8 miles high.
I'd like to sink into a stream,
And I'd let everything wash over me.
Well who'd believe it?
It's in plain sight.
Take it or leave it,
Your old man was right;
There's no free ride.
