He raised his hand, for the last time she could stand |
| [00:17.670] |
And the room was a grave that night |
| [00:22.740] |
She left a note, it said "I'm not coming home" |
| [00:28.050] |
It took courage, but she took flight |
| [00:32.590] |
And what are you really holding onto? |
| [00:37.700] |
Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends |
| [00:43.070] |
It don't always move the way it ought to |
| [00:47.540] |
But don't let the ground drag you around |
| [00:53.040] |
And these old wings |
| [00:55.710] |
Have been a long time, been a long time coming |
| [00:58.700] |
These old wings |
| [01:01.420] |
Just gotta be good for something |
| [01:03.960] |
Burn these strings so I can see what these old broken things |
| [01:11.550] |
What these old wings can do |
| [01:15.710] |
She sold the car for $1100 bucks |
| [01:20.600] |
And a bottle of something sweet |
| [01:25.930] |
She caught a train and counted seven stops |
| [01:30.850] |
And got off when she felt free |
| [01:35.860] |
And what are you really holding onto? |
| [01:40.990] |
Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends |
| [01:46.350] |
It don't always move the way it ought to |
| [01:50.920] |
But don't let the ground drag you around |
| [01:56.400] |
And these old wings |
| [01:59.170] |
Have been a long time, been a long time coming |
| [02:01.880] |
These old wings just gotta be good for something |
| [02:07.140] |
Burn these strings so I can see what these old broken things |
| [02:14.740] |
If these old wings can fly |
| [02:18.420] |
Fly, fly, fly |
| [02:28.560] |
Fly old wings, high |
| [02:40.080] |
She found herself |
| [02:42.570] |
Where people go in gloom |
| [02:45.120] |
For friends that are buried there |
| [02:50.420] |
She wrote a note to God in a balloon |
| [02:55.630] |
And watched as it disappeared |
| [03:00.170] |
And what are you really holding onto? |
| [03:05.260] |
Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends |
| [03:10.700] |
You don't always move the way it ought to |
| [03:15.330] |
But don't let the ground drag you around |
| [03:20.730] |
And these old wings |
| [03:23.520] |
Have been a long time, been a long time coming |
| [03:26.170] |
These old wings have just gotta be good for something |
| [03:31.500] |
Burn these strings so I can see what these broken things |
| [03:39.150] |
With these old wings can do |
