Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering if I should get high
To stop the pain in my mind
Oh, I need some bliss in my life
Can you help me
Can you find the way to the sky
I tried one time on my own but oh, I didn't have the will to fly
I'm trying to pick up the pieces of where I went wrong but I can't
No I can't
Staring at the lights of this town
Wondering if I should come down
To start the pain in my mind
Oh, I need some bliss in my life
Can you help me
Can you find the way to the ground
I tried one time on my own but oh I didn't have the will to drown
I'm trying to pick up the pieces of where I went wrong but I can't
I have all this stress in my head about what people want me to be but I can't
No I can't
Walking through the streets at night
Wondering if I should get high
To stop the pain in my mind
Oh I need some bliss in my life
I didn't have the will to fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
Fly
