Feels Like Flying 

Lyrics by Elle Carter

 

[Verse 1]

When he went 

Scattered on the floor like glass

Were the promises that he never kept

Nothing left

So when you came along I guess

Suddenly I was there again

I was there again

 

[Chorus]

See I was terrified of falling

So I stayed tethered to the ground

It’s safer than the clouds

But now I fly

Oh I fly

 

[Verse 2]

There’s a chance

We might slip enmeshed 

Tangled we tumble to the ground

That’s all I get

The data shows that taking risks 

Will lead to me getting hurt again 

Will I be hurt again?

 

[Chorus]

See I was terrified of falling

So I stayed tethered to the ground

It’s safer than the clouds

But now I fly

Oh I fly

 

[Bridge]

You are free

To be 

Betrayed again 

As for me

You see 

I’m afraid again 

But I wanna trust

Wanna love 

Wanna hope again 

Wanna run 

Wanna rest

Wanna live again 

 

[Verse 3]

Here take my hand

Together we do our dance 

Dysfunctional as it may be

Two left feet 

And spiderwebs of arms and legs

Convince me that I could love again 

I could love again. 

 

[Chorus]

See I was terrified of falling

So I stayed tethered to the ground

It’s safer than the clouds

But now I fly

With you I fly
