I want to keep the grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to fly
You claim I'm brave enough
You say I'm feeling tired
You could be right but who's to know who it's right for?
Let this songbird stay on land to feed my strength and take a stand
Taste the freedom in what I can do and the freedom to choose not to
I want to keep the grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to fly
Shut up, I've heard enough
I know I let you down
You seem to know just what to do so do it yourself
And let this songbird stay on land to feed my strength and take a stand
Taste the freedom in what I can do and the freedom to choose not to
I want to keep the grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to fly
Winter has been too cold
It's worn me out, it's made me old
Feathers were left behind
Along with pieces of my pride
Will I ever find a home?
Or is a home your flesh and bones?
I don't know
I still don't know
So, I want to keep the
Grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to
Fly, Oh
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
