I had to write it out on the freeway [bodytext] => ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my mind you take me
Flights of fancy, fantasy
And I don’t know how you do it
And I don’t want to be free

I could be tongue tied forever
Never more again to speak
If it meant that you would save me
If by you I were released

And I’m lying in this darkness
And I’m hoping you will see
That I could be meant for greatness
But I need you here with me

I’ve been waiting now for ages
For some one to come along
Who can hear these words as I do
Who can help me sing these songs

If it means that for a moment
For an hour, for a day
That is all that you can give me
Before you must go away

I would sacrifice most everything
To take you in my arms
I would hold you here against me
Until all my strength was gone

And I’d relive every moment
And I’d paint the memories
And I’d write the words of our songs
To live on eternally

But I don’t know where to find you
You exist within my dreams
Yet this bruise of love still lingers
On my neck, your lips did leave

And the trails of your fingers
As they traveled down my back
Seem supportive of the issue
Other evidence does lack

Oh and maybe I’m just crazy
Oh and maybe I’m insane
Oh and maybe you don’t feel it
Maybe you don’t feel the same

But I’ve got to keep believing
‘Cause I’ve got to live this dream
And I can’t live without knowing
That I have tried everything

‘Cause

In my mind you take me
Flights of fancy

Fantasy
