I can fly,
You had me caged up like a bird in the summer,
You saw me waiting,
I was crazy on fire,
Waiting to fly, I can fly.
I had bright wishes in the summer,
I was bathing in sunlight,
Painting in the garden,
Like a ghost in mid-July,
Running fast from something,
With my eyes wide like saucers,
Spinning in the sun.
I had a dream that I was fine,
I wasn’t crazy, I was divine.
I can fly,
You had me caged up like a bird in the summer,
You saw me waiting,
I was crazy on fire,
Waiting to fly, I can fly.
Your lies were hard kisses in the summer,
I was dreaming of a lake,
Dreaming of the water,
Where I’d rise like a Phoenix,
Soaring high and from the fire,
I’ve got things to tell you,
Like I know that you’re a liar.
I had a dream that I was fine,
I wasn’t crazy, I was divine.
I can fly,
You had me caged up like a bird in the summer,
You saw me waiting,
I was crazy on fire,
Waiting to fly, I can fly.
You words cut,
Like a knife in butter,
I was fighting for my art,
Fighting with my lover.
You had me so tied up,
Thinking there’s no other,
Yeah, right,
Yeah, right.
I can fly,
You had me caged up like a bird in the summer,
You saw me waiting,
I was crazy on fire,
Waiting to fly, I can fly.
