Lyrics
Broken Wings
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It ain't hard to get lost
When you forget
Where you come from
Turn that dial to the right
Push that pedal down
Don't say goodbye
Just for a drive
Along for the ride
It'd be real nice just to fly away
And escape everything
But little bird looks like you've got a broken wing
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak
But it sure won't make me believe
It's hell you say and it gets worse you know
How many more days am I gonna wake up when there's no place I wanna go?
If that sunshine's really gonna kill us all why is every day so cold?
Why is everything so fucking cold?
It never melts away
It'd be real nice just to fly away
And escape everything
But little bird looks like you've got a broken wing
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak
But it sure won't make me believe
That's the top of your lungs and the bottom of your heart
It's at the top of your lungs
It's at the bottom of your heart
It all as deep as your heart goes
I understand the things that keep you up
And I know that you still feel
And I know your heart is hemorrhaging
You need some time to heal
And now the traffic lights there on your street
Flash yellow all the time
And the mirror in the bathroom
It looks cracked in the wrong light
But walk out through your threshold
Through your lungs and move on down the stairs
And let the things you love come back to you
In time we'll all get there
It'd be real nice just to fly away
And escape everything
But little bird looks like you've got a broken wing
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak
But it sure won't make me believe.
