She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings Why does she always fly away Oh what I'm feeling As she burns me up inside Behind those charcoal eyes I took a breath and let her go She's as bright as the snow Oh oh oh oh So fly away Start over somewhere south She says that the weather's nice She'd love me to come out ♪ Crossed the Midwest in the day Drove her car all the way to Denver Called me To say she loved the way The mountains still had snow in the summer I took a breath and held it in No she's never coming back again Mmm ohh Fly away Start over somewhere south She says that the weather's nice She'd love me to come out Go on and fly away It's not like I need her now As I'm burning up inside I'll forgive her somehow Find a way to break into your chest And divide what I find into pieces Take my time Fly away Start over somewhere south She says that the weather's nice Boy I'd love you to come out Go on and fly away It's not like I need her now As I'm burning up inside I'll forgive her somehow No Go on and fly away It's not like, it's not like I need her now I need her, not like I need her now She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings Why does she always fly away?
