Broken Wings

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.
