You dream of flying cars, and cities in the stars
From where you are, you can see everything
And looking down from space, from where you see our fate
So beautiful but we don't see anything
And you know the world is round
And how to break the speed of sound
But you can find nobody listening
Mysterious, but sometimes it just takes time
And it's lonely when you leave the world behind
You're a diver and you're sailing out of bounds
On a wire, set a course of your own, I'm counting down
At the end of every day, I'm left with my mistakes
And it makes me wonder what have we all begun?
How about we call it love and we can never get enough?
How about God meaning everyone?
'Cause now we know the world is round
And we've beat the speed of sound
And you can hear the people listening
Mysterious, but sometimes it just takes time
And it's lonely when you leave the world behind
You're a diver and you're sailing out of bounds
On a wire, set a course of your own, I'm counting down
Wondering where I fit
The night above, infinite
Who we are, a single star
Mysterious, but sometimes it just takes time
And it's lonely when you leave the world behind
You're a diver and you're sailing out of bounds
On a wire, set a course of your own, I'm counting down
