I carried you from your past
Locked the door and threw the key away
You took my hand and tried to stand
Up in the air and then down again
A little girl with flaming hair
On the crossroads of today
She looks in the mirror
Her image is gone
A little big girl who used to be you
Phoenix - As you are
You better start thinking about tomorrow
Phoenix - As you are
You gotta start thinking about tomorrow
Blue eyes blackened mind
Bad strikes from behind
If you were allowed to see
Everything you mean to me
In your bed you lie
Every night I hear you cry
And I always thought you were
Thinking about tomorrow
I looked to see and there you were
Lying on the floor feeling down and out
In empty eyes our future died
When you dug into your past
And kicked the world away
A little girl with flaming hair
On the crossroads
Oh Phoenix
I had to cut your roots away
Had to make you see oh
Phoenix - As you are
You better start thinking about tomorrow
Phoenix - As you are
You gotta start thinking about tomorrow
Blue eyes blackened mind
Bad strikes from behind
If you were allowed to see
Everything you mean to me
In your bed you lie
Every night I hear you cry
And I always thought you were
Thinking about tomorrow
