falling off the roof
trying to get closer to the stars
and farther from the world
rudely awakened from a dream
like changing lanes
with a truck in your blind spot

all the time in the world
and the time is ours
couple minutes late, in a rush
and you never saw the truck
you couldn't stop

pretend you bet them on the winning one
pretend you took a chance
oh, here comes your jackpot

she's on the rocket to the moon
she's gonna leave you all behind
and you'll be sorry soon
everybody's got a dream
and you can touch the scars
but you can't remember where your [? wind has gone / wings are / wings gone ?]

pretend you bet them on the winning one
pretend you took a chance
and here comes your jackpot

and you could say that it was easy
not to step to the edge
and lean until you fall
yeah you could say that it was easy
not to turn the wheel into the wall

pretend you bet them on the winning one
pretend you took a chance
and you hit the jackpot

don't you go too soon
don't you go too soon
everybody's had a dream
it sticks to them like a scar
or a birthmark

pretend you bet them on the winning one
pretend you took a chance
and here comes the jackpot

pretend you bet them on the winning one
pretend you took a chance
you hit the jackpot

and you could say that it was easy
not to turn the wheel into the wall
yes, you could say that it was easy
not to walk to the edge
and not lean until you fall
