With angry wings, I flew out of that town
00:05
Promised you I'd never turn around
00:12
Cocaine buzz and a caffeine high
00:18
Open all the windows under midnight skies
00:21
With angry wings, I flew out of that town
00:26
Chasing down a dream
00:33
Like a shadow in the breeze
00:35
From a thousand miles away
00:39
Wish you were right in front of me
00:42
Man, I really messed up now
00:47
Too afraid to say it out loud
00:52
I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be
00:56
I'm still tryna figure it out
00:59
Man, I really messed up now
01:05
Clipped those wings and I came back home
01:16
Tried my best just to carry on
01:22
Stick and poke tattoos meant nothing to me
01:28
As far as east to west and not a memory (mm)
01:31
Man, I really messed up now
01:41
Too afraid to say it out loud
01:45
I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be
01:50
I'm still tryna figure it out
01:53
Am I too proud to say it out loud?
01:58
02:01
Chasing down a dream
02:21
Like a shadow in the breeze
02:23
From a thousand miles away
02:27
Wish you were still in front of me
02:30
I don't wanna mess up now
02:35
Too afraid to say it out loud
02:40
I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be
02:44
I'm still tryna figure it out
02:47
Man, I really messed up now
02:56
03:01

With angry wings, I flew out of that townPromised you I'd never turn around
Cocaine buzz and a caffeine high
Open all the windows under midnight skies
With angry wings, I flew out of that town
Chasing down a dream
Like a shadow in the breeze
From a thousand miles away
Wish you were right in front of me
Man, I really messed up now
Too afraid to say it out loud
I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be
I'm still tryna figure it out
Man, I really messed up now
Clipped those wings and I came back home
Tried my best just to carry on
Stick and poke tattoos meant nothing to me
As far as east to west and not a memory (mm)
Man, I really messed up now
Too afraid to say it out loud
I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be
I'm still tryna figure it out
Am I too proud to say it out loud?
Chasing down a dream
Like a shadow in the breeze
From a thousand miles away
Wish you were still in front of me
I don't wanna mess up now
Too afraid to say it out loud
I can barely breathe whom I'm tryna be
I'm still tryna figure it out
Man, I really messed up now
