Cast Away

Here I am marooned – up on this mountaintop
only hear the echoes – but my heart has stopped
Its not the climb up – that’s been killing me
Its the rocky fall – of trying to be free
I can see forever – when you hold your breath
But I need commitment – and you have no depth

(Chorus)
Why don’t you give up, that’s why I climbed this high?
Don’t try to give in, I’m gonna try to fly
I almost gave out, and now I made it here
Don’t give a damn, now that my vision’s clear

Didn’t turn my back – but you kicked me out
Now that I’m gone – I’ve been left with doubt
Why do you chase me – when you’ve set me free
What kind of thrill – comes from you killing me
I’m gonna get up – I’m gonna take my chance
I’m taking control – it’s out of your hands

(Chorus)

This would be easy – if only I could forget
The ways I loved you – and how you’ve broken it
No need to lie – I know you felt it too
You put up a chase – now I’m escaping you
Just a little bit higher – and then I’m taking off
I’m leaving this earth – if you like it or not

(Chorus)

I really thought I – could make it higher than
Just a couple of feet – and I’m gonna fall again
Right into your arms – God this is killing me
My escape is destroyed – from all your gravity
I can see you’re proud – but just watch me climb
I’ll spread my wings – if it’s the last time!

(Chorus) x2
