Train us, Train us like we're your own
Build a pathway to space, let the ladder engage your 
desire

And I watched you write that note
And address it to the stars
And somehow if it gets through
I will leave with my goodbyes

I've faced it and I drank to it nothings changed and I 
think its time
To give books another chance and ride the wave page to 
page
Something you said once got to me and I never put it 
down
The way your words smacked my face 
It was the finest abuse in town

I cut the line to be first to shine

Over and over again I saw 

This is where the sky drops down
Enough to hitch a ride out of this town
God himself isn't sure the wings are his
He'll get your letter it was next on his list

And I watched you write that note
And address it to the stars
And somehow if it gets through
I will leave with my goodbyes

I cut the line to be first to shine
