He always wanted to see the world - oh well, never mind it
He stopped searching a long time ago, cuz he can’t find it
All the wide-eyed dreams she had are lost tomorrow
Now look, she’s wearing something borrowed

Give me your hands tonight and I’ll take you somewhere a little higher
Remember those golden dreams, forget the other things - you’ll burn much brighter

They’re finally out of school, they hear their freedom calling
But things don’t go the way they hoped, watch their spirits falling
All the wide-eyed dreams they had are disintegrating
They’ve grown so sick of waiting

When you’re young
Life is magic

Give me your hands tonight and I’ll take you somewhere a little higher
Remember those golden dreams, forget the other things - you’ll burn much brighter

You used to be a fighter
Now there’s no more magic
Oh, it’s all so tragic

You’re in a bad situation
A bad situation
