[Verse 1]
Put me on an aeroplane
A million miles away
She's opened up her book of hate
And tore a brand new page
Tonight I'll find a wishing well
Tomorrow's a new day
Tonight I'll find a wishing well, before it's too late…

[Chorus]
Show me the way! show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way! show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away

[Verse 2]
She questioned my ability
To learn from my mistakes
I said she'd need a guillotine
To put me in my place
Tonight I'll write my eulogy, before I fade away
Tonight I'll write my eulogy, so don't be afraid…

[Chorus]
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
And every time I close my eyes, I've lost another day
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
[Bridge]
The waves came crashing, down so fast
That when the storm was over, the sky turned black
And now I pray for sunshine! I pray for sunshine
I pray you'll help me to escape!

[Chorus]
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
And every time I close my eyes I've lost another day
Show me the way! Show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?

[Outro]
And every time we close our eyes we've lost another day
Every time we close our eyes, our dreams will have to wait
