| i seen the way you looked at the sky
|
| you looked right up at it with unclouded eyes
|
| that ain’t the way i see anything
|
| i don’t know if i can stand another day of rain
|
| you left the nest so long ago
|
| you walked right out one day it was easy for you
|
| ruffle your feathers, everything you have in my face
|
| well i had to leave my wings at home today
|
| cuz i seen you in the sky
|
| how did you get so high
|
| i don’t know how to fly
|
| cuz you leave me paralyzed
|
| i i i i i i…
|
| wonder why
|
| only some of us get to touch the sky
|
| you were born with blue, baby boy blue in your eyes
|
| you were born to touch the sky, the sky my sky my sky
|
| cuz i seen you in the sky
|
| how did you get so high
|
| cuz i don’t know how to fly
|
| and you leave me paralyzed
|
| i i i i i
|
| i know why
|
| only some of us get to touch the sky
|
| i know what privilege is i know what mine is and why
|
| but if i could i’d steal yours
|
| and i would fly so fucking high
|
| cuz i seen you in the sky
|
| how did you get so high
|
| cuz i don’t know how to fly
|
| and you leave me paralyzed
|
| i i i i i i i…
|
| wonder why
|
| only some of us get to touch the sky
|
| all that i can do is watch you fly
|
| all that i can do is watch you fly
|
| all that i can do is say good bye (?) |
