Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna hand you my heart, and let you carry the load
Nobody tells you anything you need to know
I need a friend, but a friend is so hard to find
I need an answer, but I'm always one step behind
'Cause it takes time
Learnin' to fly
[Verse 2]
Do you ever feel like all you want is to go home?
To kiss the earth, to weave a way through this storm?
Some days, I rage like a fire in the wilderness
Some days, I only need the darkness and a place to rest
Oh, it takes time (It takes time)
Learnin' to fly
[Verse 3]
Tear up this town, blinkin' in the sunlight as the walls come down
This fire will burn, diggin' for a truth that just can't be found
Don't want your lessons in love, I wanna tear it all up
[Verse 4]
I need a friend, but a friend is so hard to find (It takes time)
I need an answer, but I'm always one step behind (It takes time)
Oh, it takes time (It takes time)
Yeah, it takes time (It takes time)
Learnin' to fly
[Verse 5]
Tear up this town, blinkin' in the sunlight as the walls come down
This fire will burn, diggin' for a truth that just can't be found
Don't want your lessons in love, I wanna tear it all up
[Verse 6]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
