Chasing Fairy Tales

When you said you were leaving
I didn’t promise to follow you out
So sit tight with your feelings
You’ve got nothing to worry about

And all this precious time
Chasing fairy tales
I know what’s on your mind
But where is the beauty?
Where is the hope?

I flew out here to see you
Clapping your hands in the sun
And they might not believe you
But I know you were happy here once

And all this precious time
Chasing fairy tales
I know what’s on your mind
But where is the beauty?
Where is the hope?

Someone’s waiting
By your shoulder
I’ve been taking
Shelter here

Way out on the runway
There’s a love that awaits to be found
And you’re headed there someday
Your relief as your feet leave the ground

And all this precious time
Chasing fairy tales
I know what’s on your mind
But where is the beauty?
Where is the hope?

And we reached an agreement
That the real world was too hard to bear
So play dead if you’re dreaming
They’ve got nothing to offer us here

And all this precious time
Chasing fairy tales
I know what’s on your mind
But where is the beauty?
Where is the hope?
