I left more than just a city

Never was what you expected me to be

I left the comfortable and easy

Going where growing up's the only guarantee

Placed my bets on California

Knocking from door to door, but all of them were closed

Faced with a hundred, "Nos"

Countless "I-told-you-so's"

I'm walking on a tight rope

If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?

I could lose it all, but I'll be damned if I don't try

They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head

Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am?

If I never fall, then I'll never learn to-

Never learn to fly, hmm

Too used to taking in opinions

Too used to letting empty words get to me

No longer asking for permission

It's about time to be who I wanna be

Though it gets overwhelming

I'm gonna keep on trying

Walking on this tight rope

If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?

I could lose it all, but I'll be damned if I don't try

They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head

Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am?

If I never fall, then I'll never learn to-

Never learn to fly

Faced with a hundred, "Nos"

Countless "I-told-you-so's"

I'm walking on a tight rope

If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?

I could lose it all, but I'll be damned if I don't try

They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head

Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am?

If I never fall, then I'll never learn to-

Never learn to fly
