Wings

You were happy in suburbia, living 'till the edge of love They saw your light But all of your years you felt as if something wasn't right Since you were a child So you fled to the ice, set loose your kite The snow was so white You sang to the stars and poured all your love to the sky You gave all you were just because you yearned To live in the night Your harmonic pleas soared up to the clouds And cried to the moon If you knew how to fly then you'd finally know What it looks like Far below But you can't touch the sky, you're stuck in the snow But all you can do Is stand and behold These wings are just for show These wings are just for show These wings are just for show These wings are just for show Living in your fantasy, your longing was so plain to see, escaping to the world in your brain But life cannot be lived that way, fleeing from reality, alone in solidarity So you learn as you grow older, slowly getting bolder You can see the peak If you knew how to fly then you'd finally know What it looks like Far below But you can't touch the sky, you're stuck in the snow All you can do Is stand and behold These wings are just for show These wings are just for show These wings are just for show These wings are just for show You have to learn how to love Cause they don't teach you to fly But when you're soaring like a dove It'll fade in the night You have to learn how to love Cause they don't teach you to fly When you find what you were dreaming of Then their ropes will not reach to the sky Your wings are not for show Your wings are not for show Your wings are not for show Your wings are not for show
