lyrics

Sometimes it feels like I’m banging my head against a solid wall
And the only thing that’s breaking is my skull
Sometimes I feel like I’m walking over half a mile of quicksand
Trying to get somewhere I don’t even know
I started out on the road to hell with the best of all intentions
But that was well before I ever met you
And now I don’t know what to think, I’m watching as my self-worth shrinks
And I’m no longer who I was before

So fly away, and let me be
Cut me loose, and set me free
Give me to another day
Let me be, and fly away

Sometimes I’m climbing up a hill that gets to steep for me to top it
And then I’m stuck, I can’t move anymore
Sometimes I hike five miles along a rocky dried-up river
But I only end up where I was before
You know I want to believe that I am someone worth respecting
But whatever I do I’m never really sure
And you told that lie right to my face, then turned and cut right to the chase
I tell ya, you know how to poke a nerve

So fly away, and let me be
Cut me loose, and set me free
Give me to another day
Let me be, and fly away
