This is a call to a colorblind
This is an IOU 
I’m stranded behind the horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so *** much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
And I've never quite returned

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so *** much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Maybe I'll tangle in a power lines
And it might be over in a second’s time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name To remember my name now

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so *** much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Bigger than my body now
Bigger than my body now
