Once I was a fly
Sittin' on your bedroom wall.
Once I was a dust
You were sweepin' off the floor.
Once I was a tear
Slowly rollin' down your cheek.
Once I was a wind
Singin' songs just for your ears.
Now there's nothing left to say and the world has turned to grey
Oh yeah
Something breakin' deep inside, there's no chance to save the day
We were shoutin' loud about the world around all night
We were both like one
And flyin' high in the light.
We were underage, drunk with love and full of rage
All the days were bright, troubles out of sight and away
Now there's nothing left to say and the world has turned to grey
Something breakin' deep inside, there's no chance to save the day
Now I understand that was nothin' but a dream!
And the days that pass they are never what they seem
Now I'm off the rails and you seem so full of pain
Each and every night as I find you go astray
Astray
Now there's nothing left to say and the world has turned to grey
Something breakin' deep inside, there's no chance to save the day
