Fly

Billy was a young boy throwing bricks
Running through town with his finger flipped
Crying inside for the love he missed
Kissing your face with his pale fist

He could fly he could fly

Lucy was a swimmer in her old school team
Cut through the water like a fish in a stream
But when she got home and
Heard her mother scream
She put her fingers in her
Ears and began to dream

She could fly she could fly

Closer, what do you say
It was all too much to bear
Closer, we’re not the same
It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye and try
And try and try

Emma was a shadow at the back of the class
Never saw her move, never heard her ask
Hiding from the words that had cut like glass
Hiding from your friends and
The way you laughed

She could fly she could fly

Closer, what do you say
It was all too much to bear
Closer, we’re not the same
It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye and try
And try and try

And one day they will need you
But you won’t need them then
And one day they will love you
But they are not your friends
They don’t know you like that

Closer, what do you say
It was all too much to bear
Closer, we’re not the same
It was not your pain to share

And I will never be a hero
But I can look you in the eye and try
And try and try
