Gerard Way Dasher Lyrics
Dasher by Gerard Way
[Verse 1]
Under atmospheric haze
Just some stratospheric strays, we wait
And can we hold on our hearts
'Til the day brings the light
Nice to meet you, Marigold
I don't think you're looking old but
"I don't think you can stay,"
Said the sea to the night
[Chorus]
When you go, when you go
Away (Away)
When you go, can you come
This way? (This way)
'Cause I feel safe in your arms
And she's got dashes in her stars
I hope you both, come around
This way
[Verse 2]
She's a waitress, he's uptown
City rain, it gets her down enough to
Waste all her dreams on a paycheck and drown
But she needs to laugh sometimes
And she dreams you'll take her with you, anywhere
'Cause these air traffic lanes need you now
[Chorus]
When you go, when you go
Away (Away)
When you go, can you come
This way (This way)
'Cause I feel safe in your arms
And she's got dashes in her stars
I hope you both, come around
This way (This way)
[Interlude/Spoken]
I really can't tell if I'm dreaming or breathing, could be actually leaving the day on the ground. But I'm easing into the dark and lifting off hand in yours hand in yours and the clouds never look like this down here, and the stars make a sound way up here. And I never miss the sun when I'm with you. I never miss the sea. Like I'm never leaving home. I'm never all alone. I'm just waiting for the magic of the diamonds of the trees; here with you, here with us. Way up in the air and birds in the snow. The great, grey sky.
[Chorus]
'Cause I feel safe in your arms
And she's got dashes in her stars
Let's run away, fast and far
And no matter where you are
I hope you know that we can show this world
It just can't bring us down
From these clouds, when we come
This way
[Outro]
Oh, this way
Someday
Someday
This way
Under atmospheric haze
Just some stratospheric strays, we wait
And can we hold on our hearts
'Til the day brings the light
Nice to meet you, Marigold
I don't think you're looking old but
"I don't think you can stay,"
Said the sea to the night
[Chorus]
When you go, when you go
Away (Away)
When you go, can you come
This way? (This way)
'Cause I feel safe in your arms
And she's got dashes in her stars
I hope you both, come around
This way
[Verse 2]
She's a waitress, he's uptown
City rain, it gets her down enough to
Waste all her dreams on a paycheck and drown
But she needs to laugh sometimes
And she dreams you'll take her with you, anywhere
'Cause these air traffic lanes need you now
[Chorus]
When you go, when you go
Away (Away)
When you go, can you come
This way (This way)
'Cause I feel safe in your arms
And she's got dashes in her stars
I hope you both, come around
This way (This way)
