Vanessa Carlton

I was stained with a role
In a day not my own
And as you walked into my life
You showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high
'cause i've seen 'cause i've seen twilight

Never cared never wanted never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face
Couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold
What I could hold but you taught me
I could change whatever came within these shallow days

And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high
'Cause i've seen 'cause i've seen

As the sun shines through and pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead
And I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
And as illusioned eyes I see there is so much to be revealed

And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high
'cause i've seen 'cause i've seen twilight

I was stained with a role in a day not my own
And as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way
And I will learn to say goodbye to yesterday
And I will never cease to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high
'cause i've seen 'cause i've seen twilight
