Flying Like a Bird

i need you here lying next to me

i need you here lying next to me

i need you here lying next to me

i need you here lying next to me

remember how we used to party

remember how you’d come and take me out

into the night

drive by in your father’s chevy

dressed up drinking rum and cherryade

we had it made

you said that i was something holier-than-thou

a princess in a lonely tower

and when i cried that all the stars would go on out

and flood the sleeping towns below

we’re flying like a bird

don’t say another word

until i’m with you

all the memories that hurt

washed away into the dirt

maybe now we’re older

we’re flying like a bird

remember how we were

before innocence left us?

back into your world

back into your world

i put on my new glass slippers

you pretend to be the midas king

all sparkling

drive out in the golden city

roads made of diamonds glittering

you let me in

an angel carrying the roses in her mouth

a silhouette behind the flame

an open door to greet another ageing face

sweetest smile behind the pain

we’re flying like a bird

don’t say another word

until i’m with you

all the memories that hurt

washed away into the dirt

maybe now we’re older

we’re flying like a bird

remember how we were

before innocence left us?

back into your world

back into your world

back into your world

back into your world
