Anything With Wings

It wasn't what I planned

It's just how it's comin' down

I didn't understand

Just doing what I could

I was out of my mind

Thinkin' it couldn't break me

Driving blind

Anywhere this thing would take me

I've held it in my hands

Pressed my cheek against it

But it slipped through like water or sand

Or some well-intentioned words

I will never believe

This is time wasted

I will not grieve

Anything with wings

Now that's the point of waking dreams

The unexpected living brings

I won't regret or stop hoping

In anyone or anything with wings

I've known it all along

That's the way the world runs

It's not right or wrong

Just to ask for what is fair

Goodnight sounds like goodbye

But that's just how it's comin' down

No I never got it right

But that don't mean it wasn't true

I was out of my mind

Thinkin' it couldn't break me

Driving blind

Anywhere this thing would take me

I will never believe

This time is wasted

I will not grieve

Anything with wings
