Fantasy Island (Flipped)

[Verse 1]

Long in tooth, olives and vermouth

I dine like an aging pilot

And where are they now, the money and the crowd?

Must I really come back down?

[Pre-Chorus]

It's like I never was a kid, the big math, it wasted youth on me

Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me

[Chorus]

But now I want to fall into something else

An origami plane to a distant island

And I don't want to show you my feelings

I don't want to force you to deal

I just want to crash through the ceiling

Before it gets too real

[Verse 2]

All my life, compromise on wings of resignation

The big grey eye staring from the sky

Am I humble enough now?

I've always had something to hide

My skinny arms, my evil intentions

And back at school, hitting the fire alarms

Desperately wanting attention

[Chorus 2]

Well I was just a boy, out there on my own

Wishing I could fly, fantasy Island

I don't want to show you my feelings

I don't want to bore you to death

I just want to crash through the ceiling

And get it off my chest

[Pre-Chorus]

It's like I never was a kid, the big math just wasted youth on me

Making impressions like I did, your friends never thought that much of me

[Chorus 3]

Well I was just a boy, out there on my own

Wishing I could fly, fantasy Island

And I don't want to show you my feelings

I don't want to force you to deal

I just want to crash through the ceiling

Before it gets too real

Too real
