I've seen the way you looked at the sky   you looked right up at it with unclouded eyes   that ain't the way I see anything   I don't know if I can stand another day of rain   you left the nest so long ago   you walked right out one day   it was easy for you   ruffle your feathers   everything you have in my face   well, I had to leave my wings at home today      cause I've seen you in the sky   how did you get so high?   I don't know how to fly   cause you leave me paralyzed   I wonder why only some of us get to touch the sky      you were born with blue, baby boy blue in your eyes   you were born to touch the sky, the sky   my sky, my sky      cause I've seen you in the sky   how did you get so high?   cause I don't know how to fly   and you leave me paralyzed   I know why only some of us get to touch the sky      I know what privilege is   I know what mine is, and why   but if I could, I'd steal yours   and I would fly so fucking high      cause I've seen you in the sky   how did you get so high?   cause I don't know how to fly   and you leave me paralyzed   I wonder why only some of us get to touch the sky      all that I can do is watch you fly   all that I can do is watch you fly   all that I can do is say goodbye
