With angry wings, I flew out of that town

I promised 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, who'm I tryin' to be?

I'm still tryin' to 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 nothin' to me

As far as east to west and not a memory

Mm, mm...

Man, I really messed up now

Too afraid to say it out loud

I can barely breathe, who'm I tryin' to be?

I'm still tryin' to 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, who'm I tryin' to be?

I'm still tryin' to figure it out

Man, I really messed up now.
