When I open up my window
And watch all of the stars glow
I wonder where they hide
'cause I've been waiting for a long time
To fade into that sunshine
And leave this world behind
We found love upon the pavement
Surround us pained and painted
A world with foreign bones
And if we go there well I know that
The slowing breaths will show that
It's a galaxy to roam
And if we could fly
Separated from protection, you and I
If we could fly there and lie there and die
I know we will wave
To the treetops burned and the burials at birth
So turn all your lights off
We'll lift off and spin soft
Believe me, believe me
If we could fly
So tie your laces and pack your boxes
And unlatch all the locks in
Your ventricles and spine
'cause home is grown and gone forever
But we might find one better
So follow me in time
And if we could fly
Separated from protection, you and I
If we could fly there and lie there and die
I know we will wave
To the treetops burned and the burials at birth
So turn all your lights off
We'll lift off and spin soft
Believe me, believe me
If we could fly
