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

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

Small talk, 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

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

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

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
