I wanna hand you my heart and let you carry the load Nobody tells you anything you need to know I need a friend but a friend is so hard to find I need an answer but I'm always one step behind 'Cause it takes time Learning to fly Do you ever feel like all you want is to go home To kiss the earth, to weave a way through this storm Some days I rage like a fire in the wilderness Some days I only need the darkness and a place to rest Oh it takes time (it takes time) Learning to fly Tear up this town Blinking in the sunlight as the walls come down This fire will burn Digging for a truth that just can't be found Don't want your lessons in love I want to tear it all up I need a friend but a friend is so hard to find I need an answer but I'm always one step behind Oh it takes time (it takes time) Yes, it takes time (it takes time) Learning to fly Tear up this town Blinking in the sunlight as the walls come down This fire will burn Digging for a truth that just can't be found Don't want your lessons in love I want to tear it all up
