Dead Reckoning

In heavy consternation I move across the hall
 I pictured this so many times
 I wasn't scared at all
 but every time I got this far I never felt so small
 my mind was full of questions
 of arguments and lies
 but every word was melted down
 when I looked in your eyes
 and I don't need these memories
 for now I'm mesmerised
 and I'm staring down the barrel of my life


 now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention
 how my thoughts dance freely on the journey
 you intended all along, to somewhere I belong
 like a pilot in the sky of dreams


 can you promise me the world
 and everything I need
 can you promise me the world
 can you promise me a sky
 that's trouble free and clear
 so it's safe for me to fly


 but who can stop my plane (stop my plane)
 from drifting out of range (far away)


 will this sky be precious to defend
 will my sights go dark before the end
 will I see the landing lights again


 can you offer me the speed
 to travel like the wind
 if I ever feel the need
 can you guarantee the sun
 won't melt away my wings
 way before my journey's done


 and who can stop my plane (stop my plane)
 from drifting out of range (far away)


 will this sky be precious to defend
 will my sights go dark before the end
 will I see the landing lights again


 drifting away (drifting away)
 out of the grey and out of control
 such a nice day (such a nice day) for drifting away


 what became of the blue horizon
 are you sure I was flying blind
 never saw that the plane was diving
 never thought I was out of time 
 and now I'm disenchanted
 you endure my disaffection
 all my systems running red
 the radio is down and there's trouble ahead


 get me back down
 I lost my way and I want to be grounded
 get me back down
 I lost my way coming out of the storm


 get me back down
 I lost my way and I want to be grounded
 get me back down
 I lost my way coming out of the storm


 did I promise you a sky
 where rain would never fall
 or did you listen to a lie
 did you radio to base
 I waited for your call
 but you left without a trace


 but I could stop your plane (stop your plane)
 from drifting out of range (far away)


 still this sky is precious to defend
 still your sights will last until the end
 you will see the landing lights again


 now I'm entranced, you possess my full attention
 how my thoughts dance freely on the journey
 you intended all along, to somewhere I belong
 like a pilot in the sky of dreams
