Breathless, your hands are tired 
Sleepless, the battle wages higher 
"All aboard!" you hear the captain say 
Take what's yours, only what you can carry in your arms 

Before I met you, my life was a series of chances 
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time 
Bye, bye, bye, bye [to illusions I behold] 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 

Dodging arrows, the ones that strike you down 
They hit the walls behind us without a sound 
Elevate yourself to the higher plane 
And don't look down; you will only scare yourself 

Before I met you, my life was a series of chances 
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time 
Bye, bye, bye, bye [to illusions I behold] 
Bye, bye, bye, bye 

Lay down on a sandy beach 
It's a bad world, no place for us to be 
So hold the ones you love dear and closest to your heart 
Tell them how you feel; they might not know it 'cause you never show them 

Before I met you, my life was a series of chances 
Before I met you, my mind, it was racing all of the time 
Bye, bye, bye, bye... 
Bye, bye, bye, bye
