I thought I could fly

We think we've come so far but it's a slow descent from who we've been to who we are And then we jump through hoops and try to stay in loops always reaching for some star And our time drips down the walls But we're gifted in the art of not caring Well sometimes you need to fall While everyone's staring To feel the wind whip by as you climb so high to embrace the sky bye bye I thought I could fly Feel the wind whip by as you take that dive into concrete waves oh why Did I think I could fly I thought I could fly We live our lives in loss and try to count the cost but in the end it's just loose change And all the moments wasted and the lips untasted now forever out of range You stay anchored to the globe So damn scared of sailing off the edge But no matter what the load it's so much lighter on this side of the ledge Where you can feel the wind whip by as you climb so high to embrace the sky bye bye I thought I could fly Feel the wind whip by as you take that dive into concrete waves oh why Did I think I could fly I thought I could fly If you always follow footsteps You're bound to wind up in someone else's destination We think we've come so far but it's a slow descent from who we've been to who we are Feel the wind whip by as you climb so high to embrace the sky bye bye I thought I could fly Feel the wind whip by as you take that dive into concrete waves oh why Did I think I could fly I thought I could fly I thought I could fly I thought I could fly I still think I can fly...
