I came along to see your face,
But the only thing I got from you,
Was telling me it’s fantasy,
That you would always be with me,
I can tell you that it’s true
I’m waiting here,
But it’s alright
It’s alright with me,
You better believe me now.

I guess it’s like a mountain side,
You gotta climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
Is the view above the clouds.
I’m waiting here,
But it’s alright,
Still it’s alright with me,
You better believe me now.
