Glass Waltz Lyrics - Vertical Horizon

She knows the fear in the eyes of a child 

He wants to soar through the air 

She's only now just beginning to rise 

Part of him's already there 

She tried to capture the wind in a box 

To liven up her rainy days 

He's so afraid of what's waiting up top 

It's probably better that way 

'Cause he wasn't that smart and she wasn't so strong 

But they went through the motions as if they belonged 

Playing their parts in this travelling show 

And they haven't got too far to go 

He finds the enemy waiting inside 

It's hungry like never before 

She brushes off the temptation to hide 

It's easier just to ignore

And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive 

When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies 

Happier times seem to balance the lows 

And they haven't got too far to go 

No more tears today 

No more time to waste 

When it comes to the end of the line 

I'll know it's my time to shine 

So, he always wanted to be someone else 

She sometimes wanted to die 

They kept believing in spite of themselves 

They just had to open their eyes 

'Cause he wasn't that smart and she wasn't so strong 

But they went through the motions as if they belonged 

Playing their parts in this traveling show 

And they haven't got too far to go

And then waltzing on glass is no way to survive 

When you trip on the truth to fall back on the lies 

Happier times seem to balance the lows 

And they haven't got too far to go 

Too far to go 

It's too far to go
