Just sitting here it must be clear
i'm full of fear we won't make it off the ground
because today's the day i make a play
to fly away on out of here and get what i need
since way back when i used to pretend
i was fortune's friend but to tell the truth
the truth is that i've always had good luck gone bad
i feel so sad and all alone, i almost gave up
Built hundreds of dream towns,
abandoned and dead from old age
but i live in this last one
so just don't lie to me, stop teasing me,
it hurts to believe i might finally catch a break
from that old man in charge of lucky stars
please cut these bars and let me go,
i'm asking you now
just let it slide
You'll see a trace behind my face,
amazing grace under pressure from above
because every finger's crossed, my coins are tossed, the clover's lost another leaf, there's no turning back
So i'm holding tight with all my might,
i'll give you a fight if you try to take away
the dream that matters most, it feels so close, an equal dose of hope and fear, with nothing to lose
Built hundreds of dream towns,
abandoned and dead from old age
but i live in this last one
so just don't lie to me, stop teasing me,
it hurts to believe i might finally catch a break
from that old man in charge of lucky stars
please cut these bars and let me go,
i'm asking you now
just let it slide
just let it slide
