Learn to Fly

To the left to me a striped fence

To me, this all does not make sense

What's two when all you need is one?

Who's to blame for the empty gun?

If all tears from the sky

Why do they fall from your eye?

Leave a sparkle that you see in dreams

What's to come when the grass don't turn green?

It's runnin' fast, cannot slow

Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go

Driftin' head and lazy eyes

Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own

♪

And if it tastes too good, it could be a lie

You ain't the apple of your mama's eye

Who needs a moon for the light?

Flip a switch and we're back to life

Now what's in the air? Who's on the street?

And who's the pretty girl glaring at me?

Why's the sun shinin' off her hair?

Why now do I seem to care?

It's runnin' fast, it cannot slow

Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go

Driftin' head and lazy eyes

Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own

♪

Now shake a left or take a right

Hope that there's no one in sight

Do shadows really dance and gleam?

They all look pretty damn dark to me

And if times the only thing I'd say we're in

While we're fightin' 'til the bitter end

Cashin' in everything we know

Does dying rich determine where we go?

It's runnin' fast, it cannot slow

Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go

Driftin' head and lazy eyes

Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly

It's runnin' fast, it cannot slow

Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go

Driftin' head and lazy eyes

Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own

On my own

Darlin', on my own

Darlin', on my own, yeah
