lyrics

Do you play pretend
Do you close your eyes
Do you hide in corners
Corners of your mind
Do you step out sometimes
Turn it up loud sometimes

You've lost track of time
You can't tell what's real
Stuck behind the curtain
You can't help but feel
It's not right
Right
Right
Like it should be
Like it could be
It's not right

Spin like a record
Race the wild
Follow the footprints
Chase the lights
Promise me you'll go this time
Promise me you'll really try
Promise me you'll see the sights
No more closing eyes

Can you trust the wind
Would you let the sky
Steer you for a moment
Could you close your eyes
Live in a lullaby
Step off the clouds and fly

There's no time to waste
We can see it's real
Nobody believes us
I can't help but feel
It's not right
Right
Right
Like it should be
Like it could be
It's not right

Spin like a record
Race the wild
Follow the footprints
Chase the lights
Promise me you'll go this time
Promise me you'll really try
Promise me you'll see the sights
No more closing eyes

Spin like a record
Race the wild

Follow the footprints
Chase the lights

Promise me you'll see the sights
No more closing eyes
