I Wish We Were Leaving - Elton John, Bright Light Bright Light

I wish we were leaving

I wish we were in somebody’s car

Going faster

Then we get home

And that would be enough

I’d look at the ceiling

And feel like I was in somebody’s arms

Who really loved me

But we won’t get that far

Cause you’ve got your eyes set on something that I don’t see

Whenever you smile it’s for something that I don’t feel

And one day you’ll be so good for somebody

For somebody

And one day you’ll make somebody so happy

But it won’t be me

, big nights

You’re showing a sign that you’re not alright

Going faster than you wanted

Because it’s not enough

So tired of believing

Love’s gonna get you through the night

There’s no laughter when you take things this far

You’ll be turning their grey skies blue

Like I’d do for you

If you’d only let me

You’ll be dreaming and by your side

There’ll be two blue eyes

Where I wanted to be

Don’t feel so deflated

These things happen

Timing fails and so

It isn’t your fault

So don’t look back

You don’t need to explain cause
