Take me backwards
Turn me around
I cannot find my balance on the ground
This world is too heavy
For a feather falling quickly
And I wrote you a story
But I'm afraid of how it ends
And all my friends are doing well
And I'm still on the mend
]
I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
I tried to be brave
]
And nothing's coming easy
And all at once I feel a little queasy
Oh but if your love's my remedy
Won't you please come and be with me
It's not like there's much better
Nobody's grass is as green as mine
I can't say that I'm satisfied
Three thousand miles from your kiss goodbye
]
I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
]
And everybody's afraid
Cause chances come from change
And everybody's afraid
Cause chances come from breaking
And chances are you're breaking open
]
I'm going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
Cause nobody's going to save
Somebody who won't change
It's time to be brave
