verse 1
Long in tooth
Olives and vermouth
I dine like an aging pilot
Where are they now
The money and the crowd
Must I really come back down
Pre-Chorus
It's like I never was a kid
The big math just wasted youth on me
Making impressions like I did
Your friends never thought that much of me
And now I want to fold
Into something else
An origami plane
To a distant island
And I don't want to show you my feelings
I don't want to force you to deal
I just want to crash through the ceiling
Before it gets too real
verse 2
All my life
Compromise on wings of resignation
Big grey eyes staring from the sky
Pre-Chorus
I've always had something to hide
My skinny arms, my evil intentions
And back at school hitting the fire alarms
Desperately wanting attention
Well I was just a boy
Out there on my own
Wishing I could fly
Fantasy island
And I don't want to show you my feelings
I don't want to bore you to death
I just want to crash through the ceiling
Get it off my chest
Break
Pre-Chorus
It's like I never was a kid
The big math just wasted youth on me
Making impressions like I did
Your friends never thought that much of me
Well I was just a boy
Out there on my own
Wishing I could fly
Fantasy island
And I don't want to show you my feelings
I don't want to force you to deal
I just want to crash through the ceiling
Before it gets too real
Before it gets too real
Before it gets too real
Real
