Don't get me wrong, I'm doin' alright Can't you see I'm okay I'm not at home all alone every night I'm out there dancin' old memories away [Chorus] But it wouldn't hurt to have wings to lift me above All the pain of the past and your mind-wreckin' love They say time can fly like a magical thing But it sure wouldn't hurt to have wings I don't see things like love anymore The rose-colored glasses are gone I won't be fooled like I was before I'm learnin' now how to fly on my own [Chorus] I'm gonna fly like an eagle and rise above it all [Chorus:Repeat x2]
