I thought you wanted to fly

I thought you'd like to defy

the laws of gravity

give in to insanity

just for a while

I thought you wanted your heart to dance

I thought you wanted to take a chance

give up control

really risk it all

to let it fly

seems to me

that every time I try

I end up flat on my back

watching the sky

wondering why

maybe I'm wrong

maybe our wings are not strong enough

to fly that close to the sun

and maybe my race

has already been run

I thought you wanted to fly
