lyrics

Take a stab at me I think I'm ready to go
haven't spoken to your boyfriend in a, month or so
and standing here in the middle of this party of people neither of us know
I wish I hugged you, or told you

To go, to go with the greatest of the speeds
to the grandest of the heights to the people all in need
oh I know I know it really isn't fair
that powerful people are powerless to care
and when you find, that place
oh be sure to get that look upon your face

Take a swing at me I think I'm reading to fight
It's been a while but I'm pretty damn sure it's like riding a bike and
both of us are a couple of fools on this little old island in the middle of a pool and I hope you change your mind, this time

To run with the greatest of the speeds
to the grandest of the heights to the people all in need
oh I know I know it really isn't fair
that powerful people are powerless to care
and when you find, that place
oh be sure to get that look upon your face
to run to run with the greatest of the speeds
to the grandest of the heights to the people all in need
oh I know I know it really isn't fair
that powerful people are powerless to care
and when you find, that place
oh be sure to get that look upon your face
