How to Fly Lyrics by Fireflight

Who We Are: the Head and the Heart

2020

[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd fall this far
I don't ever wanna sink this low again
I never thought I'd hit this hard
Here I am, upside down
Can't take another breath right now
Can't face another endless night alone
I'll never last another round
Here I am, tapping out

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you see me standing on the edge?

[Chorus]
Can you teach me how to fly?
Till nothing on the ground
Can hold me down
I've been reaching for the sky
Won't you set me free
And teach me how to fly?

[Verse 2]
I'm pulling up the roots of pain
They're never gonna tie me down again
Burning everything that's in my way
Here I am, breaking free
All that I have is in your hands
Counting on something bigger than myself
Even if I can't see the plan
I'll let go and believe

[Pre-Chorus]
You can see me standing on the edge

[Chorus]
Can you teach me how to fly?
Till nothing on the ground
Can hold me down
I've been reaching for the sky
Won't you set me free
And teach me how to fly?
(How to fly)

[Bridge]
(Closer, closer, closer to the sun
Closer, closer, closer to the sun)
I wanna touch your face
I'm leaving time and space
Show me how to fly closer to the sun
(Closer, closer, closer to the sun)
(Pull me closer, pull me closer, pull me closer)
I wanna touch your face
I'm leaving time and space
Show me how to fly closer (to the sun)

[Chorus]
Can you teach me how to fly?
Till nothing on the ground
Can hold me down (hold me down)
I've been reaching for the sky
Won't you set me free (set me free)
And teach me how to fly?
Can you teach me how to fly?
Till nothing on the ground
Can hold me down (hold me down)
I've been reaching for the sky
Won't you set me free (set me free)
And teach me how to fly?

[Outro]
I wanna touch your face
I'm leaving time and space
Show me how to fly closer to the sun
