On my way to the airport
Excess baggage in the car
My time in town was much too short
The ship of music took me far
Sometimes it's hard to carry on
And you have to change all that you are
I enjoyed the daily sweet suprise
But it wasn't a ticket to paradise
I wasn't trying to avoid you
But how could I just say goodbye
Don't make me tell you that I'll be back
Cause I don't know and I don't wanna lie
So I paid my dues, a crazy price
I made mistakes but I made them well
Sometimes I followed some mean advice
So I had to get up, and again and again I fell
Hey, look up to the sky
Maybe I'm just flying by
Someone, somewhere
Was waiting for me a long, long time
Hey, look up to the sky
Maybe I'm just flying by
I cherish the time
The moment you could have been mine
Don't picture your dream on my horizon
I'm still looking for myself out there
I'm gone or I'll get home, I don't know
But I'll miss you tonight
I'm gone or I'll get home, I don't know
But I'll miss you tonight
In good days I lived my foolish pride
Till no tears were left to cry
Was sometimes wrong and sometimes right
Do we need to know the reason why
I was living too fast for relevance
Like a child who's running wild
A laconic moment of ignorance
Was getting rough, it was getting tight
I played too long at the highest cost
And I gambled my heart away
I first gave in and then now lost
On a pale blue fragile day
I am the same as I used to be
Although I just got back from war
A Jew and a Palestinian
Surviving my personal hell alone
Hey, look up to the sky
Maybe I'm just flying by
Someone, somewhere
Was waiting for me a long, long time
Hey, look up to the sky
Maybe I'm just flying by
I cherish the time
The moment you could have been mine
Don't picture your dream on my horizon
I'm still looking for myself out there
I'm gone or I'll get home, I don't know
But I'll miss you tonight
I'm gone or I'll get home, I don't know
But I'll miss you tonight
Hey, look up to the sky, maybe I'm just flying by
Hey, look up to the sky, maybe I'm just flying by
Hey, look up to the sky, maybe I'm just flying by
Hey, hey, look up to the sky
Hey, look up to the sky, maybe I'm just flying by
So I paid my dues, what a crazy price
For all that mean advice
In the role of a man of means
At the court of tragedy queens
Burning down on hardest roads
Gaining miles against all odds
Back in the town where I was born
And now life can just carry on
