Lyrics

I tried to reach you, baby,
Did I get too close?
You revel in temptation,
Afraid you'll overdose,
But fear does not become you,
It makes you sick and pale,
What happened to that little girl,
Who didn't know how to fail,

She said, "I want to be alive,
And I want to learn to fly,
And I want to send and arrow through the sky."

There's something you're not saying,
'Bout the way you feel,
Worried it ain't genuine,
Or maybe it's too real,
You can't remain a prisoner,
A fugitive of love,
Can you still hear a voice crying, calling
To the stars above,

Singin', "I want to be alive,
And I want to learn to fly,
And I want to send and arrow through the sky."

So step out of the shadows,
Why be so self-contained?
Accidents of innocence,
You've already explained,
You say you can't remember,
The way that you once lived,
But even in your darkest hour,
You still knew how to give.

Singin', "I want to be alive,
And I want to learn to fly,
And I want to send and arrow through the sky."
