Paralyzed

I've seen the way you looked at the sky

You looked right up at it with unclouded eyes

That ain't the way I see anything

I don't know if I can stand another day of rain

You left the nest so long ago

You walked right out one day

It was easy for you

Ruffle your feathers

Everything you have in my face

Well, I had to leave my wings at home today

Cause I've seen you in the sky

How did you get so high?

I don't know how to fly

'Cause you leave me paralyzed

I, I, I, I wonder why

Only some of us get to touch the sky

You were born with blue, baby boy blue in your eyes

You were born to touch the sky, the sky

My sky, my sky

'Cause I've seen you in the sky

How did you get so high?

Cause I don't know how to fly

And you leave me paralyzed

I, I, I, I know why

Only some of us get to touch the sky

I know what privilege is

I know what mine is, and why

But if I could, I'd steal yours

And I would fly so fucking high

'Cause I've seen you in the sky

How did you get so high?

'Cause I don't know how to fly

And you left me paralyzed

I, I, I, I wonder why

Only some of us get to touch the sky

All that I can do is watch you fly

All that I can do is watch you fly

All that I can do is say goodbye
