Put me on an aeroplane 
million miles away
She's opened up a 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

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 [bad word] away

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

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 [bad word] 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?

The waves came crashing down fast 
And 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

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 [bad word] 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?

Every time we close our eyes, we've lost another day
Every time we close our eyes, our dreams will have to end
