[Verse 1]
My harbour lights are fading fast
Soon they'll disappear
Alone i sit in darkness
Hoping someone might come near
Though i wait, though i try
No one ever comes
And the feeling that i have flood over me
The river starts to run

[Chorus]
We fly so close [x2]
Sometimes we fly too close

[Verse 2]
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
There are places that you know you should not go
But some bridges just won't burn
All my life, though i try
I cannot change the past
And the ghosts that come back to haunt you
Make you realize at last

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My heart is racing much faster now
Life passes before my eyes
Something's i see, they make me smile
Something's they make me cry
So i look, so i try to find
A lesson i can learn
The passing of time hasn't changed my mind
And the ghosts i know return

[Chorus]

[Outro]
We fly so close, you and i sometimes
Sometimes we fly so close
We'll never know how many times
We fly so close
We fly so close
