Learn to Fly Lyrics by Parker McCollum

Probably Wrong

2017

[Verse 1]
To the left of me a striped fence
To me, this all does not make sense
What's two when all you need is one?
Who's to blame for the empty gun?
If all tears fall from the sky
Why do they fall from your eyes?
Leave a sparkle that's you see in dreams
What's to come when the grass don't turn green?

[Chorus]
It's runnin' fast, cannot slow
Sittin' wonderin' where I'll go
Driftin' head and lazy eyes
Hold me, mama, as I learn to fly on my own

[Verse 2]
And if it tastes too good it could be a lie
You ain't the apple of your mama's eye
Who needs a moon for the light?
Flip a switch and we're back to life
Now what's in the air? Who's on the street
And who's the pretty girl glaring at me?
Why's the sun shinin' off her hair?
Why now do I seem to care?

[Chorus]
It's runnin' fast, cannot slow
Sittin' wonderin' where I'll go
Driftin' head and lazy eyes
Hold me, mama, as I learn to fly on my own

[Verse 3]
Now shake a left or take a right
And hope that there's no one in sight
Do shadows really dance and gleam?
They all look pretty damn dark to me
And if time's the only thing I'd say we're in
While we fightin' 'til the bitter end
Cashin' in everything we know
D​oes dying rich determine where we go?

[Chorus]
It's runnin' fast, cannot slow
Sittin' wonderin' where I'll go
Driftin' head and lazy eyes
Hold me, mama, as I learn to fly
It's runnin' fast, cannot slow
Sittin' wonderin' where I'll go
Driftin' head and lazy eyes
Hold me, mama, as I learn to fly on my own

[Outro]
On my own
Darling, on my own
Darling, on my own, yeah
