Clipped Wings Lyrics by Oversoon

Hourglass Relations

2020

[Verse 1]
Save, save, save, save
Whatever keeps your feet up off the black
Wings, wings, wings, wings
Are precious things that tend to not grow back
[Chorus]
An angel that I thought I knew
Has clipped her own wings 'cause she thought that they looked funny, and
I guess it's true
That we weren't meant to fly
An angel that I thought I knew
Has clipped his own wings, though he should not have done it, and
I guess it's true
That we were meant to die
Mm
[Verse 2]
Fly, fly, fly, fly
Above the people who believe in fate
High
Until you can no longer feel the weight
[Chorus]
An angel that I thought I knew
Has clipped her own wings 'cause she thought that they looked funny, and
I guess it's true
That we weren't meant to fly
An angel that I thought I knew
Has clipped his own wings, though he should not have done it, and
I guess it's true
That we were meant to die
We were meant to die
[Bridge]
If I were my father, I'd say what he's saying to me
I know he can't bear to watch as I beat myself down to my knees
But maybe that's where I should be, before I rise and realize
That sunsets cannot be touched yet
That chasing them only yields pain and regret
That your wings are not what's holding you down
That the view will be worth it when you're off the ground
That lessons learned should be trusted
And truth is not something that can be adjusted
That I need a handful to lead me home
And that I cannot do this alone
[Outro]
Save, save, save, save
Wings, wings, wings, wings
Fly, fly, fly, fly
High
And live before you die
Please live before you die
