lyrics

Alone walking these city streets,
Feeling somehow incomplete.
Days go by, I blend in,
And I feel like I’m waiting for my life to begin.
You say its such a shame,
That we’re all so afraid just to make a mistake.
I wonder for the point of debate,
How do you choose which one to make?

So when the day comes to an end,
How do I get by and not pretend?
Baby, the world out there acts tough,
So where can I find some of your luck?
(You know I could use a little, baby)

How could I ever learn to fly? (Fly away with you)
How do I even begin to try when you’re so high?
How could I ever learn to fly? (Fly away with you)

So now you’ve settled in to your new life,
A little lonely but you look alright.
Sometimes you wonder how they stay sane,
You know, it’s no secret, we’re all so vain.
And even though things are going well,
You can’t help but feel a little underwhelmed.
It seems like everyone’s got a plan,
But you’re treading water just to make a stand.

So at the end of the day,
What you give is what you take away.
And I’m not asking for much this time around,
But pretty soon I’ll figure it out.
(You know I’m overdue, baby)

How could I ever learn to fly? (Fly away with you)
How do I even begin to try when you’re so high?
How could I ever learn to fly? (Fly away with you)
How could I ever learn to fly? (Fly away with you)
How do I even begin to try when you’re so high?
How could I ever learn to fly? (Fly away with you)

Tell me do I ever cross your mind?
It might happen from time to time.
Would you tell me if I crossed your mind?
But why would I ever cross your mind?

How could I ever learn to fly?
How do I even begin to try? (repeat)
