I always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget What I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway I think of all the things I've done What I do and what's to come Of all the choices that I make The chances that I didn't take Of all the dreams that tried and failed Birds that flew and ships that sailed Of all the love that's lived and died Makes me wonder why I Always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget, what I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway I think of all the folks I've known How they've changed and how they've grown Some are flyin' through the sky Some are sinkin' like stones Of all the memories I keep Locked away and buried deep Of all the times I've laughed and cried Makes me wonder why I Always want what I can't get It's always close but not quite yet For the most part I forget, what I wanted anyway I always see the things I'm not And look right past the things I've got For the most part I forgot, what I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway What I wanted anyway

Once I flew And it made my fingertips sing I was more like a God than a king Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though you don't believe me I know You look where I'm standing now You can't believe I left the ground Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you Once I flew And the angels were my friends They would grant my every whim Now I can't believe that was true Once I flew Though it's easy to forget I don't seem to have managed yet And I don't think I ever will Look up to the bright blue sky Can't you feel life passing by? If you could wouldn't you Try to soar over everything? All the pain this world can bring Once I flew now I've lost my wings Now I'm down here with you Now I'm down here with you Astronauts And in my dreams I am happy again You're in my arms and we're flying again Flying away
