It's always the same
To make believe fame
But I guess it'll do
I'm living in a dream
I'm living out a lie
And neither one will come true
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
What keeps me on the ground?
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
I got my bags all packed
I can leave on a dime
And I pray out loud that I will this time
I got nowhere to go
Hell, I just can't stay
And everywhere, everywhere
All the faces of old man
You got knocked down, now your blood's run cold
And I don't wanna be another on the wall
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
What keeps me on the ground?
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
And everybody's got their reasons
For looking down on me
And I wonder what you might say
If I could turn around, turn my back on you
And fly away
You see, I never did think that I wear this thing
Like I'm the one wrong in my own skin
And the only thing right is you looking in on me
And everywhere, everywhere
Man, I've been told I've been down the wrong deck
Now it's time to fold
But I could never lose if I could only fold on to me
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
What keeps me on the ground?
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
And you keep me on the ground
I wonder why I can't fly away from here
Away from here, oh
Away from here
