The View UpStairs - Waltz (Endless Night) Lyrics |
2017 Off-Broadway The View UpStairs the Musical - Waltz (Endless Night) Lyrics
Once, when I was young It sounds cliché I dreamed I'd buy a rocket ship and soar up to the stars someday Fly to galaxies far away
I grew up in a town Small, about three hours from here A place where people look and think the same and astronauts do not appear ok I'll find a new game to play
[Terror endless?] on the lazy afternoons where I learned how to kiss And he made me understand what my body was for "And we'll have lots of fun", he said "But you can't tell anyone."
Our game came to an end His father sent him away With the plan; fry the fairy out of him and he'll come back a man, more or less The doctor guaranteed success
But to everyone's surprise Tom never spoke again He just stares at the wall When our family gathers round on holidays they all pretend it's ok 'He's better off this way.'
But I'd rather die than end up like him going dead in the eye And it was only a matter of time Before they try to fix me the same way
Packed up my life in one bag And I haven't been back
Being a little too free It's not always glamorous But you learn how to survive Life presses on You create little stories to keep your heart alive
Why get too hung up on the past When you can tip rewind Hope when I look back I can smile and say it was worth it all to find A love of my own some day That can't be taken away
And if one day, I have the money A rocket ship's not what I'll buy Because I know better now There's no more stars left in the sky Just endless night
