Lyrics
Sitting up upon the white walls
Sitting on top of the white walls
The clouds surround my head
Surrounded by clouds, feeling weighed down
The air feels heavy, pressing down
Experiencing a heavy atmosphere, pressure
The heart I should have read.
Regret for not understanding the heart
Airplanes cross the grey world
Airplanes crossing the gray world
that still tries to hold me down
Struggling against a world trying to restrain
I should have broken out
Regret for not breaking free earlier
Several ages before now.
Reflecting on missed opportunities in the past
The birds they sit beside me
Birds offering advice on flying
And they whisper how to fly
Whispered encouragement to overcome fear
But I'm just too afraid
Fear preventing the attempt to fly
To give that whole damn thing a try.
Expressing reluctance to take risks
But I'm just too afraid
Reiteration of being too afraid to try
But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-Houses built to fence me
Houses built to confine, suppressing love
Calm the slumbering love down
Calm atmosphere suppressing emotions
Since now I see that empty space
Acknowledging an empty space in life
Just take a look around.
Encouraging to observe surroundings
So I'm breaking down the covenant
Breaking the commitment that binds
That forces me to stay
Feeling forced to stay, resisting confinement
Back behind the desert
Behind the desert, straying from the heart's path
That has led my heart astray.
The birds they sit beside me
Birds questioning shyness
And they whisper "why so shy?"
Encouraging to overcome shyness
But I'm just too afraid
Fear preventing the attempt despite encouragement
To give that whole damn thing a try.
Reluctance to take a significant leap
Oh no no no
Expressing fear
I'm too afraid
Repetition of being too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
-But I'm just too afraid
