Up, Up & Away

[Verse 1]
I peek inside the do-not-open box
Time ticks, sweat drips, can I pick this lock?
Escape to where I already was
Flying high, running from myself

[Chorus]
Skies open, wheels in motion
No going back, no, I've chosen
The worst part is there's no one to blame
Just me, myself and I
(This ain't a video game)

[Post-Chorus]
It must just be my day
I'm up, up, and away
It must just be my lucky day
I'm up, up, and away
(Yeah, I just kinda want to do a couple of maneuvers)
(See what it can do, before I put 'er down, you know?)

[Verse 2]
Don't know if I can survive
Life on this side
How many lives can a guy buy?
I don't know why (I follow the fly)
I don't know why (I follow that fly)
(I follow that fly)
(I follow the fly)

[Verse 3]
I peek inside a weakened man's dеmise
Chest pounds, going down, look up, a dead man's еyes
Can't erase or save face
What will they think when they hear my voice on the tapes?

[Chorus]
Skies open, wheels in motion
No going back, no, I've chosen
The worst part is there's no one to blame
Just me, myself and I
This ain't a video game

[Post-Chorus]
It must just be my day
I'm up, up, and away

[Outro]
I follow the fly, I follow the fly
I follow the fly, I follow the fly
I follow the fly, I follow the fly
I follow the fly
Skies open, wheels in motion
No going back, no, I've chosen
