Breathless, your hands are tired
Sleepless, the battle wages higher
"All aboard!" you hear the captain say
Take what's yours, only what you can carry in your arms
Before I met you, my life was a series of chances
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time
Bye, bye, bye, bye [to illusions I behold]
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Dodging arrows, the ones that strike you down
They hit the walls behind us without a sound
Elevate yourself to the higher plane
And don't look down; you will only scare yourself
Before I met you, my life was a series of chances
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time
Bye, bye, bye, bye [to illusions I behold]
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Lay down on a sandy beach
It's a bad world, no place for us to be
So hold the ones you love dear and closest to your heart
Tell them how you feel; they might not know it 'cause you never show them
Before I met you, my life was a series of chances
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time
Bye, bye, bye, bye...
Bye, bye, bye, bye
