The fall and rise of the promise of potential I looked me in the eye, and I saw only inner tension The hallways with advice spiked on the walls I've read them all and I know them all by heart So back off now, I don't need more decoration I'll build my own home, house, world and protection A parking garage filled with ways to escape Maybe I'll take a car, maybe you'll all watch me Fly, the wings I've built with my own two hands And I know that you're waiting For an honest man to Step into my old shoes We used to live uncanny lives We were one but we were two You said we weren't growing I knew you'd never make me complete Darling it's me, its all on me, on me on me And this is me trying to keep you And this is me saying I need you So please Let me learn to fly again On strong winds, grey clouds, are all around me The one great trip we're all supposed to make Some people I meet, they say they've been here forever I'm not Here for myself, don't wanna play in the puddle Don't wanna choose the wrong star when I'ma navigate Don't wanna crash in a tree or a sea or a mountain I am a new man Push and pull is a call for desperation The overwhelming noise is just a part of generation The autumn comes and gives new color to all A new way to see a new perspective to be And I am proud to see the size of it all One day I looked out, far, deep in the horizon To an empty place but it was all in myself A seed fell down, you told me this is the time to Fly, the wings I've built with my two hands And I know that you're waiting For an honest man to Step into my old shoes I know that you're waiting for me to Keep the promises I made you We tried to open unlocked doors Thought this' easy, just one more You said this ain't working and you're right That guy could never please you What a fool, he's just a fool, a fool, a fool Now this is me trying the right way And this is me choosing the hard way, for you I'll learn to fly again On strong winds, grey clouds are all around me The one great trip we're all supposed to make Some people I meet, they say they've been here forever I'm not Here for myself, don't wanna play in the puddle Don't wanna choose the wrong star when I'ma navigate Don't wanna crash in a tree or a sea or a mountain I am On strong winds, grey clouds are all around me The one great trip we're all supposed to make Some people I meet, they say they've been here forever I'm not Here for myself, don't wanna play in the puddle Don't wanna choose the wrong star when I'ma navigate Don't wanna crash in a tree or a sea or a mountain I am a new man Some people I meet, they say they've been here forever I am a new man
