All I wanted was to fly away for the fall
and come back different than all the ones
who stayed all winter
frostbitten and bitter
to those coming home from out east
They said “the ground is so far away from the sky
that if you ever fell down you would probably die.”
I said “I left my heart so far up in the clouds
That I just might die if I ever had to come back down”
Now I don’t know if I’m completely sold
on spending winter in a place that’s so damn cold
‘Till now Its been home, just a place on the ground
but I promise in spring that I’ll be around
I’ve been walking in my sleep
I’ve been waking places I’d only dreamed I’d ever be
What does that even mean? Am I only happy when I’m sleeping?
I won’t ever forget the place I used call my home.
But it’s really to bad, you see the stars are all I know.
I’ll start a spark in the heavy hearts of all those on the ground.
You’ll be the lighthouse, and I’ll be the one who’s always been too proud come back down.
Come back down.
Chorus (x2)
They said “the ground is so far away from the sky
that if you ever fell down you would probably die.”
I said “I left my heart so far up in the clouds
That I just might die if I ever had to come back down”
Come back down
