The terminal leaves behind Half-smiles and drying eyes With ticket clutched in hand I long to find my way back home But even from way up here The view isn't all that clear What good is this perspective If I can't tell where to go? I can't tell where to go You're looking down on me Lost and incomplete Desperate to make things The way I think they ought to be But You've got a different way You've seen all my mistakes You're asking me to leave the pieces where they lay You take my hand, we turn and walk away The turbulence shakes the room The passengers and the crew With armrest clutched in hand I long to regain some control But as I relax my grip I realize the truth of it I'm just as powerless when I am on the ground below And I can't tell where to go You're looking down on me Lost and incomplete Desperate to make things The way I think they ought to be But You've got a different way You've seen all my mistakes You're asking me to leave the pieces where they lay You take my hand, we turn and walk away We turn and walk away We turn and walk away The terminal leaves behind (We turn and walk away) Half-smiles and drying eyes (We turn and walk away) But as I relax my grip (We turn and walk away) I realize the truth of it (We turn and walk away) I can't tell where to go (We turn and walk away) The terminal leaves behind (We turn and walk away) Half-smiles and drying eyes (We turn and walk away) We turn and walk away
