The day we went away
feels like only yesterday
We flew for hours until we
climbed the walls
that couldn't keep us still
The day that we touched down,
when that beast glided to the ground
The things we thought we knew,
left as fast as we flew
The day that we arrived,
as we descended from the sky
Oh what a sunny place,
filled with hopes and dreams
for us to chase
We did amazing things,
and we finally spread our wings
And we can do anything, I'm sure,
since the day we went away
The day we looked around
and stumbled across what we had found
But we searched high and low,
that's when we lost all control
The day we found ourselves,
we were hiding on a shelf
Of an anti -clothing store,
folded tight and in the drawer
The day that we came home
and realized how much we had grown
Some time to relax,
but all I wanna do is go back
We did amazing things,
and we finally spread our wings
And we can do anything
When we were through ups and downs
But we turned this ship around
And it's straight ahead from here on in
Since the day we went away
The day I saw the light,
and knew that I was worth the hype
When I finally realized,
that I'd no longer compromise
The day I understood
that I would swap, can't be good
Cause when it's all said and done,
well, this is supposed to be fun
How did I stumble on?
I'm singing a new song
An d it sounds better than
Everything that went before
Cause now I want it more
Straight ahead from here on in
Since the day we went away
