Why try? I know why
The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone
Clear head, new life ahead
It's time I was king now, not just one more pawnFly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretendMoon rise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling insideFly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend, wowFly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretendStart a new chapter
Find what I'm after
It's changing every day
The change of a season
Is enough of a reason
To want to get awayQuiet and pensive
My thoughts apprehensive
The hours drift away
Leaving my homeland
Playing a lone hand
My life begins todayFly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretendFly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
