Grounded

We met like strangers, for the first time around
It's like my feet took off, searching for the ground
And acting casually we talked about the rain
Talked about the rain, talked about the rain, talked about the rain

Clouded by those words
I could not see the graceful birds
Taking off and crossing the sea

And it was pouring, and I was the one to blame
The hollow echoes of a time gone by, so slow
My voice is fading and tuning in so low
Tuning in so low

Clouded by those words

When we were done, I turned around and walked away
I heard the ringing of those last words you would say
You turned as well and watched the sun go down
Watched me leave this town (watched me leave this town)

Clouded by those words
I could not see the graceful birds
Taking off and crossing the sea
So lost in time and free

I need to go, so I can rise and find my way
I will let go, so I can fly, reach for the stars
This is my time to be praised and shine
And hide those darkened eyes

I'm burning, I'm burning, burning so bad
Bridges burning down, I never turned around
With steady footsteps walking one by one, leaving all behind
Ambitions rising high, strengthening inner tide
My heart accelerates and hate evaporates
