Autopilot lyrics

It seems like times
Keep passing me by
And I'm just here to pass the time.
Could someone please
Take me off autopilot
I really need a chance to fly myself

This transatlantic flight won't get there tonight
Red-eye glare
My hands are off the wheel and it's so hard to feel
Direction, when or where

Chorus:
I've got a way
To keep from getting burned
Stay away from the flames for a while
You learn from mistakes
Take the consequence in turn
You can't cauterize with a smile

There's nothing I
Can do to get by
In the clouds of my own mind.
Could you bring me down?
I'm tired of the sky
So lonely far from the crowd

The view from up above just isn't enough
To keep me there
When you're closer to the stars you can only fall father
Ivory won't care

Chorus
