Is the school bell chiming? is that why you’re making such haste?
Did you finally find a reason to make a grand escape?
Can’t see my friend, why you’d go on living this way
When I feel your heart and your hope bleeding onto every page
Oh, and it goes, like a Ferris wheel spinning round
No, she don’t know, if she’ll ever be coming down
Yet the skyline is so perfect from fifty feet from the ground
If you’re going to, do it gently, when you let her down
Do you still fear the thunder but love running in the rain?
With her hand held so tightly; I swore she’d never slip away
Can’t see my friend, why you’d go on living this way
When I feel your heart and your hope bleeding onto every page
