Learn to Fly

To the left to 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 from the sky
Why do they fall from your eye?
Leave a sparkle that you see in dreams
What's to come when the grass don't turn green?

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

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?

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

Now shake a left or take a right
Hope that there's no one in sight
Do shadows really dance and gleam?
They all look pretty damn dark to me

And if times the only thing I'd say we're in
While we're fightin' 'til the bitter end
Cashin' in everything we know
Does dying rich determine where we go?

It's runnin' fast, it 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, it cannot slow
Sittin', wonderin' where I'll go
Driftin' head and lazy eyes
Hold me, Mama, as I learn to fly on my own
On my own
Darlin', on my own
Darlin', on my own, yeah
