Make a Man of You

[Verse 1]
You've grown too tall again
Somebody better clip your wings
Before you fly away

[Verse 2]
You are too bold to live
Somebody better learn to give
Or learn to lose with grace

[Pre-Chorus]
The sky knows your name now
The leaves, they fall too fast
You're dying in the grass
And I can't let this moment pass

[Chorus]
Your breath, it reeks of ocean breezes
Your eyes have turned too blue
The sky holds no challenge for you
What strange diseases
That make a man of you

[Verse 3]
Here is the sky's parole
Somebody's got to leave it whole
Go on and take it

[Verse 4]
The earth's too small to breathe
And if you can't get free
Well I know you can fake it

[Pre-Chorus]
Your lips don't move the air
The sun comes tumbling down
You're fading into novas
And you leave me on the ground

[Chorus]
Your face it reeks of ocean breezes
Your eyes have changed their hue
The skies hold no memory of you
What strange diseases
That make a man of you
