Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is a call to the colorblind
This is an I-O-U
I'm stranded behind the horizon line
Tied up in something true
[PreChorus]
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
[Chorus]
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
[Verse 2]
Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn? Yeah
I shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return
[PreChorus]
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
[Chorus]
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
'Cause I'm bigger than my body now
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name now
[PreChorus]
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
For my fuse to dry
Wait for my fuse to dry
[Chorus]
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body now
