wings

I was raised in the mouth of a crocodile Born to an eagle-eyed mama Flying feels a sin 'til I'm with her again And I could go anywhere I wanna I lived three years as a vampire Couldn't seem to stand the light of day Then my eagle came flying out to New York City I cried in her arms as she kissed me And she said, sometimes it's gotta be this way Growing up is learning what you hate But if you ever wanna pack your bags and come on home These wings are open wide for you, you know I'm living my life on a tightrope Hyper-aware of gravity But something I feel is coming closer My eagle's flying right beside me And she says, sometimes it's gotta be this way Don't look down, don't be afraid And if you're ever on the verge about to lose it all These wings are here to catch you if you fall These wings are here to catch you if you fall
