If I could fly to some other place
That's exactly what I'd do
Go far from here and never turn back
As long as you came with too
My shoulder blades would sprout two wings
I'd let go of excess weight
Be light enough to be carried by
Air that makes my lungs inflate
The clouds would hold me gently
Arms as white as snow
So high over the crowded earth
I'd forget about the pain below
Floating like a feather free
No gravity to lower my heels
I'd sacrifice **** near anything
To experience how liberty feels
Yet this dream will not come true one day
My body anchored to the ground
The flight I desire desperately
Is an escape that will never be found
Because I know I am no angel
Heaven is not my home
My soul is polluted with darkness
The skies are not where demons roam
I cannot rise off my knees
Nevermind rising way above
But you lift my spirits a little bit more
Each time you share your love
I feel like I am levitating when you are next to me
