IF ONLY I COULD FLY

If only I could fly amongst
the birds in the blue sky, for months
the thought alone has been itching like a flea.
Maybe I could try just once
and if I can't get quite high enough
at least I know my soul won't hit the sea.

I've been staring at this picture
wondering if I'll ever miss her...
It hurts to know my heart cannot decide.

If only I could swim through waves
without needing air for days.
I'd have gales n' fins and see all my fishy friends.
Maybe I could try just once
and if I can't hold my breath long enough
at least I know my soul won't float ashore.

I've been staring at this picture
wondering if I'll ever miss her...
It hurts to know my heart cannot decide.
But maybe if I tried my luck
I might not end up quite as stuck.
I could go down but not without a fight.

If only I could live on dry land
and know I won't sink through the quicksand
that seems to want everything I am.
Maybe I could try just once and if I'm...
If I'm not quite strong enough,
at least I'll go knowing I gave my all.

I've been staring at this picture
wondering if I'll ever miss her...
It hurts to know my heart cannot decide.
But maybe if I tried my luck
I might not end up quite as stuck.
I could go down but not without a fight.

Without a fight.

Without a fight.
