Don't you know how hard it is
To pack your bags, pack your bags
Zip them shut, pick them up
Dump what didn't fit
Spend the next night all awake
For that fateful ride on the airway
Arrive from the pink sky
Hear that sound
Walk along the jet bridge
Suitcase rolling along the floor
I take my first step on this island
I gain new life
I show my face to the guard
Give them the papers that they want
Tell them why i'm here
And they will let me through
Don't you know how its funny
That there's a world, outside this home
You've never seen and i'm going there
We might not meet again
And as much as i love you, friend
You're just a cat, you won't understand
Why my rooms getting emptier
Knick knacks stuffed into bags
Walk along the jet bridge
Suitcase rolling along the floor
I take my first step on this island
I gain new life
And as i feel the cold air
I shine like the sun that's greeting me
Don't you stop me now
I'll only shine more from here
Don't you know how hard it is
To pack your bags, pack your bags
Zip them shut, pick them up
Dump what didn't fit
Don't you know how hard it is
To dream all of this, all the time
As the weeks go by, its arriving
For now i can only sing this song
And so, i think to myself
I'll do the best that i can
I will live this day
And tomorrow and tomorrow
And you pounce on my chest
Telling me to wake up
For its a new day again
New day again, new day again, new day again
