lyrics

Hands on the reigns charging across the plains
High in the sky my unicorn can fly
Trapped in a daze trying to find our way
Patience our virtue well so they say
We rot away

You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just how it feels to feel so low
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just what it's like when you wanna explode
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
I'm trapped inside the scariest ride
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just what it's like to keep it inside

I sit inside with a carrot just in front of me
Tied on a string that's two feet out of reach
Please just decide if you really want a ticket to ride
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly

You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just how it feels to feel so low
You wanna know?
You really wanna know?
Just what it's like when you wanna explode
You know

I sit inside with a carrot just in front of me
Tied on a string that's two feet out of reach
Please just decide if you really want a ticket to ride
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly

So hard to wait when you really want something to be
So hard to wait when you really want something to be
So hard to wait when you really want something to be
So hard to wait when you really want something

I sit inside with a carrot just in front of me
Tied on a string that's two feet out of reach
Please just decide if you really want a ticket to ride
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
My white horse can fly
