Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
[Verse 2]
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
[Verse 3]
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see
[Verse 4]
It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
[Verse 5]
Up, up and away, away from me, now, it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy
Or anything
[Verse 6]
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
[Verse 7]
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me
[Verse 8]
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
Only a man looking for her dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
It's not easy
No, it's not easy
To be me
Me
