wings

I was raised in the mouth of a crocodile

Born to an eagle-eyed mama

Flying feels a sin 'til I'm with her again

And I could go anywhere I wanna

I lived three years as a vampire

Couldn't seem to stand the light of day

Then my eagle came flying out to New York City

I cried in her arms as she kissed me

And she said, sometimes it's gotta be this way

Growing up is learning what you hate

But if you ever wanna pack your bags and come on home

These wings are open wide for you, you know

I'm living my life on a tightrope

Hyper-aware of gravity

But something I feel is coming closer

My eagle's flying right beside me

And she says, sometimes it's gotta be this way

Don't look down, don't be afraid

And if you're ever on the verge about to lose it all

These wings are here to catch you if you fall

These wings are here to catch you if you fall

These wings are here to catch you if you fall
