She knows the fear in the eyes of a child
He wants to soar through the air
She's only now just beginning to rise
Part of him's already there

She tried to capture the wind in a box
To liven up her rainy days
He's so afraid of what's waiting up top
It's probably better that way

'Cause he wasn't that smart and she wasn't so strong
But they went through the motions as if they belonged
Playing their parts in this travelling show
And they haven't got too far to go

He finds the enemy waiting inside
It's hungry like never before
She brushes off the temptation to hide
It's easier just to ignore

And then waltzing on glass is the way to survive
When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies
Happier times seem to balance the lows
And they haven't got too far to go

No more tears today
No more time to waste
When it comes to the end of the line
Well, I know it's my time to shine

He always wanted to be someone else
She sometimes wanted to die
They kept believing in spite of themselves
They just had to open their eyes

'Cause he wasn't that smart and she wasn't so strong
But they went through the motions as if they belonged
Playing their parts in this travelling show
And they haven't got too far to go

And then waltzing on glass is the way to survive
When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies
Happier times seem to balance the lows
And they haven't got too far to go

Too far to go
