Fear of Falling

You put a map of the world on your wall Pinned the places you wanted to go Pictured yourself in a park in New York Or a temple in North Tokyo You hope that the ocean from Mexico Still looks as blue as it does in your dreams Spent half your life only thinking about all the places that you'll never see 'Cause you're staying grounded You're still living at home Starts to feel like more of a cage It's a place that you've outgrown It's getting smaller with each passing day You need to open your wings You'd been hoping they were broken Made it easy to excuse the fact You couldn't fly For fear of falling Oh Turned twenty-two, still don't know to feel Just another of life's stupid jokes Need directions to bed, started drinking again Think it's time that you turned off your phone But you're staying grounded 'Cause you're too afraid to fall You're still living at home Starts to feel like more of a cage It's a place that you've outgrown It's getting smaller with each passing day You need to open your wings You'd been hoping they were broken Made it easy to excuse the fact That you couldn't fly For fear of falling Oh
