Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I swear this town
Gets smaller everyday
And I'm waiting for my chance
I'm gonna break away
[PreChorus]
I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me
People got lots of ideas of who I'm supposed to be
[Chorus]
Angel, carry me oh-so-far away
May my body never touch the ground
And if I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?
Fly away
Fly away
[Verse 2]
Well, most folks here
Well, they don't dig too deep
They can't dream too big, mmm
'Cause they've got fields to keep
[PreChorus]
I could walk away and leave behind my family
Or get buried alive in this legacy
[Chorus]
Angel, carry me oh-so-far away
May my body never touch the ground
And if I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?
Fly away
Fly away
[Bridge]
I wanna sleep under a different piece of sky (Sleep under a sky)
I wanna live a little bit before I die (Live before I die)
I wanna be so close to Heaven, I see
[Chorus]
Angels, carry me oh-so-far away
May my body never touch the ground
And if I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free so I can fly away?
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away, oh
Fly away
