Fly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He traces her name in the dust That lives at the top Of the living room table Just a fingertip swirl Meant for the girl That he can't seem to label [Chorus] Mindless and cruel This work of art He's done to himself To call him a fool Is too kind a word He sketches what's left [Verse 2] Like the first black clouds at Pompeii There was bound to be more Than just rain here Now that the ashes have cooled The I told you so's Are all that remain here [Chorus] She had thе wings You swore didn't exist She had thе way That you shrugged aside Shaking off gravity Is what she does best Did you look up? Did you see her fly? Fly? Fly? Fly? Fly? Fly? [Verse 3] If you could flip a few pages ahead What would you do once you found this Half-empty bed and these Trinkets and tears that she left That at this time seem timeless [Chorus] She had the wings You swore didn't exist She had the way That you shrugged aside Shaking off gravity Is what she does best Did you look up? Did you see her fly? Fly? Fly? Fly? Fly? [Outro] Oh did you see her fly? Oh, when you look back at what went wrong Did you think she'd be up and gone and fly? Fly?
