What's keeping me, what's keeping me   God tell me what is keeping me   I thought I saw Resolution yesterday   But he just smiled and waved   What's holding me, what's holding me   Dear God, what is holding me   I thought I knew what laid in store   I didn't count on locked up doors   And all I know is something happened   The wind changed directions   The lovers cried and the birds flew away   Why did I stay, why did I stay   What tied me up, what tied me up   Like chewing gum my feet got stuck   Im sitting in this rusty room   All prepared to face my doom   You laughed at me, you laughed at me   Said that kind of life don't come for free   I smiled, said no, and not much does   But why are my feet still stuck   Again signs all pointed to   Following my simple truth   The lovers cried and more birds flew away   Why did I stay, why did I stay   I can't be a walking restriction anymore   I can't deny what fates got in store   Why do I stay, why do I stay   Please tell me I don't have to stay   Friend told me I'll lend you some change   Go find out whos calling your name   Leave your goodbyes with me tonight   Don't mind what's wrong just go set it right   Last boarding call to LA   Take your tickets here, right this way   Don't care if I become a star   I just wanna play my guitar   Somethings happening   The wind changed directions   The lovers smiled and the last birds flew away   I didn't stay, I didn't stay   I flew away   I flew away   Don't stay   Fly away
