I want to climb to the highest peaks
I want to sing until my heart stops beating
And if I wait for the day to arise
Then I'll capsize
I don't want to take the back seat
I want to scream until my lungs are defeated
I've walked those dead end roads before
And it was no surprise
That I capsized
You know I've strayed into the darkness before
Oh, the hours spent trying to find
What I was looking for
I found a way out but I couldn't find a cure
Just give me a reason
Or show me the door
I want to break the mould
I want the new to replace the old
You realised that I won't be told anymore of your lies
And so capsized
I'll tell you now it's now or never
I want to take the first road out
And ride forever
There's no hope left in this town anymore
And I'll tell you why
'Cause it capsized
You know I've strayed into the darkness before
Oh, the hours spent trying to find
What I was looking for
I found a way out but I couldn't find a cure
Just give me a reason
Or show me the door
So I can leave
Steal away
While I've still got a chance
While nothing stands in the way
While the sky is sitting clear
The sun will light my way
If you wait for me
I'll hang on every word you say
But I could never hear you say, no
You were always much too far away
And I was left like an abandoned ship
At the bottom of the ocean
Where I'll learn to live again
