We Saw Airplanes

Take the time
Take the time
To find out what's inside of you
These nursery rhymes
They've all been read before
But they won't bother you
These games we play
Are tearing me...
A part of the way
Of living out this life
Is that we don't understand
When you were away
When you were away
We found out all your secrets
And when the sun
Comes shinning down
We saw airplanes
Falling from the sky
Falling from the sky
Take it away
If you take it away
Then there will be nothing left of you
What would you say
If you were left behind
No way of coming back
These games we play
Are tearing us...
Apart and away
How did we get this far
And how can we return?
Remember this day
The day we saw the lights
That left us mesmerized
And when the sun
Comes shining down
We saw airplanes
Falling from the sky
Falling from the sky
Falling from the sky
Falling from the sky...
