Sailling through the tunnels

In the morning by yourself

There's a very special feeling

True sensation all is well

If you stand and reach your arms out wide

Close your eyes and try to fly

It's an underground illusion

Tricking you from side to side

We knew all the answers

And we shouted them like anthems

Anxious and suspicious

That God knew how much we cheated

It can't come quickly enough

And now you've spent your life

Waiting for this moment

And when you finally saw it come

It passed you by and left you so defeated

Skyscrapers rise between us

Keeping me from finding you

If the concrete architecture

Dissapeared there'd be so few

Of us left to navigate and

Defend ourselves from the tide

It's an underground illusion

Tricking you from side to side

There's no indication of

What we were meant to be

Sucking up to strangers

Throwing wishes to the sea

It can't come quickly enough

And now you've spent your life

Waiting for this moment

And when you finally saw it come

It passed you by and

Left you so defeated
