lyrics

It seems you've forgotten
You're a human being underneath
Even if you with you weren't
Even if you wish to somehow fight the urge

You just can't break away
I couldn't help but overhear you say
You wish you were somewhere else
You wish you lived the life of someone else

That's just what you've become
A product of the cynicle and dumb
Don't fly then crash and burn
Don't bury yourself away 'til it's your turn
It won't come around
At this rate you will not be around
To see your rise or fall
Posters of your face on every wall

Someday I want to hear you say
The world's a better place than the one that you left behind
Someday I want to hear you say
The world's a better place than the one that you left behind

Like a fish drowning in water
Or like the cuts you didn't feel until the bath
You fade away from mind
A memory half as sharp as other kinds

You thought it was okay
To come up with a plan to run away
At least that gave you time
Thinking out your problems acting fine

We all have our bad days
We all have days we want to get away
It's strange yours seem to laugh
Stranger still how I still make you laugh

Someday I want to hear you say
The world's a better place than the one that you left behind
Someday I want to hear you say
The world's a better place than the one that you left behind

Someday I want to hear you say
The world's a better place than the one that you left behind
Mundane, thus so easy to say
The world's a better place than the one that you left behind
Once upon a time
