about

So fly.

lyrics

I don't want to jump, 'cause I'm scared of falling
And I don't want to swim, 'cause I'm scared to drown
If I pick up the phone, will you quit calling?
And if I stay, will you quit coming 'round?

I can feel your lips on my fingertips
But I'm scared to close the space
One kiss would be enough to kill me
When you go away

CHORUS
'Cause I've been closing my eyes
And I've been wasting my time
But I can hear the clock; it's ticking
And I won't spend another second wishing
I could see the light
All I want to be is within my grasp
So I'll just reach out my hands
Next chance that comes, I'm gonna take it
Find the hope in my mistakes
And live like I am scared to die
Yeah, I'm gonna fly

I'm pruning at a field of four-leaf clovers
Got rabbit's feet all scattered on my floor
I've lined all of my sidewalks in a sea of lucky pennies
But I can't seem to scoot on out that door

There's a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow
But it only holds so much
So when the chips are down, and all the beauty runs out
Is it better to have loved?

CHORUS
'Cause I've been closing my eyes
And I've been wasting my time
But I can hear the clock; it's ticking
And I won't spend another second wishing
I could see the light
All I want to be is within my grasp
So I'll just reach out my hands
Next chance that comes, I'm gonna take it
Find the hope in my mistakes
And live like I am scared to die
Yeah, I'm gonna fly

I can't seem to live up to my potential
I'm scared to know how good I could've been
I'm just standing at the edge of the ocean
I guess it's time I put both my feet in

CHORUS
'Cause I've been closing my eyes
And I've been wasting my time
But I can hear the clock; it's ticking
And I won't spend another second wishing
I could see the light
All I want to be is within my grasp
So I'll just reach out my hands
Next chance that comes, I'm gonna take it
Find the hope in my mistakes
And live like I am scared to die
Yeah, I'm gonna fly
