I left more than just a city Never was what you expected me to be I left the comfortable and easy Going where growing up's the only guarantee Placed my bets on California Knocking from door to door, but all of them were closed Faced with a hundred, "Nos" Countless "I-told-you-so's" I'm walking on a tight rope If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly? I could lose it all, but I'll be damned if I don't try They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am? If I never fall, then I'll never learn to- Never learn to fly, hmm Too used to taking in opinions Too used to letting empty words get to me No longer asking for permission It's about time to be who I wanna be Though it gets overwhelming I'm gonna keep on trying Walking on this tight rope If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly? I could lose it all, but I'll be damned if I don't try They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am? If I never fall, then I'll never learn to- Never learn to fly Faced with a hundred, "Nos" Countless "I-told-you-so's" I'm walking on a tight rope If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?
