Man wasn't made to reach for the sky
So he built himself a rocket and learnt how to fly
Now we've got a million different ways to get high
But I haven't tried a single one
Well maybe in the end, there's a lesson to learn
As the saints all ascend and every sinner gets burned
While somewhere in between, I've been trying to discern
If faith can be earned as I run
When everyone's life is imperfect
In their death lies a grim absolute
There's so much to explain but I can make one last claim
I won't ever stop waiting for you
Man wasn't born to sink to the depths
So he built himself a raft and came out of the wreck
Rising with the sun while burning off some regret
Now a mission's been set here in stone
Though somewhere in darkness love can show us the way
As two hearts both unite for another escape
Eventually we'll all be departing someday
But a piece will stay with you to hold
When everyone's life is imperfect
In their death lies a grim absolute
There's so much to explain but I can make one last claim
I won't ever stop waiting for you
So come and find me by the hanging tree
Where innocence and romance meet
Always flirting with mortality
It's never where you want to be
It's what you need, it's what you need
When everyone's life is imperfect
In their death lies a grim absolute
There's so much to explain but I can make one last claim
I won't ever stop waiting for you
I won't ever stop waiting for you
I will never stop waiting for you
Man wasn't made to reach for the sky
So he built himself a rocket and learnt how to fly
Now we've got a million different ways to get high
And there's nothing else I'd rather do
