ETIW

Intro

Yeah... oh yeah...

I had a dream... but it didn't feel like sleep.

Verse 1

I got everything I wanted, but the price was high

Not the palace in the clouds, not the limit of the sky

And if I’m being honest, it was closer to a scream

A waking nightmare trapped inside a digital dream

Thought I could fly, so I stepped off the Golden Gate

Static in my lungs, just a moment too late

Nobody cried, not a flicker, not a sound

Nobody even noticed I was no longer around

But when I wake up, the gray turns to blue

The only thing that’s real is the vision of you

And you said...

Pre-Chorus

You said I wanted to die, yeah

Told me I’m not alright, yeah

Might start a riot, I’m tired of the quiet

Fueling the fire, yeah, I’m so fucking tired, yeah!

Chorus

But I think it’s time to give hope a try

Look at the bird, watch it learn how to fly!

I just want you to be fine, yeah

I just want you to be alive

Now jump! Now fly!

(Let’s fly, let’s fly!)

We’re leaving the gravity, leaving the lie!

Verse 2

If I knew the ending, would I play the start?

Would I let the coldness settle in my heart?

If they knew their words were bullets in my head

Would they take back every hollow thing they said?

I don't know how to feel, I don't know how to breathe

Is love just a hunger? Is it something to eat?

Damn the ice in my chest, damn the wings I denied

I’m traded the hollow for the warmth inside

I stepped off the bridge just to see if I’d break

But I learned how to soar for my own damn sake!

Pre-Chorus

You said I wanted to die, yeah...

(I'm not afraid)

No, I’m not afraid to fly, yeah!

Outro

Stepped off the Golden...

Finally open...

It’s time to fly.

(Fly... fly... fly...)

End
