lyrics

Fly Boy

out here on a mission i’ve been swooping like a bird
and i would tell you everything but you can’t hear a word
i’m not doing what i want i’m doing what i must
i wish i had told you you’re the only one i trust

i became a fly boy to defend the things i love
and i’ve grown closer to my god soaring high above
still there’s such an emptiness the sky makes me afraid
if i float away alone will then my debt be paid

and i can’t claim i did it right
but while i drift off late at night
i think of you
please forgive me 2X

i have bombed their cities from a tranquil perch in space
when i veered toward the sun i only saw your face
once the family splintered i had nothing left to say
you thought i had grown too tough it only looked that way

and i can’t claim i did it right
but while i drift off late at night
i think of you
please forgive me 2X

i am sorry that my leaving had to make you cry
i just knew i had to go and couldn’t say goodbye
and all the other things i did still tumble through my head
maybe i’ll come back some day your fly boy from the dead

and i can’t claim i did it right
but while i drift off late at night
i think of you
please forgive me 2X
