Mother said, dont pack your bags
~#**************#~
We aint got no time for that
~#**************#~
They shut the lights off in our neighborhood
~#**************#~
Dont know if were coming back
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
~#**************#~
I saw signs on the video
~#**************#~
I saw signs looking back, but you never know
~#**************#~
Sunrise on the radio
~#**************#~
Said the sharp bulbs long lines
~#**************#~
The false signs come in stereo
~#**************#~
Tip of my scales like a wave and I figured on
~#**************#~
Dont know if I can let it go
~#**************#~
But I ain’t got more time
~#**************#~
So dont look down, dont close your eyes
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
~#**************#~
Fly closer to heaven and far from hell
~#**************#~
Fly, put your wings up, so put your wings up
~#**************#~
Fly far from the city we knew so well
~#**************#~
Fly, so put your wings up, put your wings up
~#**************#~
Time we say goodbye to the neighborhood
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
~#**************#~
Mother said, dont pack your bags
~#**************#~
We aint got no time for that
~#**************#~
Well switch our names up in our neighborhood
~#**************#~
Well make sure we dont attract
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
~#**************#~
I saw signs on the video
~#**************#~
I saw signs looking back but you never know
~#**************#~
A sunrise on the radio
~#**************#~
Said, the sharp bulbs long lines
~#**************#~
The false signs come in stereo
~#**************#~
Tip of my scales like a wave and I figured on
~#**************#~
Dont know if I can let it go
~#**************#~
But I ain’t got more time
~#**************#~
So dont look down, dont close your eyes
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
~#**************#~
Fly closer to heaven and far from hell
~#**************#~
Fly, put your wings up, so put your wings up
~#**************#~
Fly far from the city we knew so well
~#**************#~
Fly, so put your wings up, put your wings up
~#**************#~
Time we say goodbye to the neighborhood
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Santigold]
~#**************#~
Do you hear us? Do you see my face?
~#**************#~
I want the world to know
~#**************#~
What are we now for the love like animals just to find a home
~#**************#~
Searching the horizon for a sign
~#**************#~
All I see is dark, but I sail on
~#**************#~
I can hear my heart beat harder
~#**************#~
Im still here, but not much farther
~#**************#~
Now we sit, now we walk
~#**************#~
Now they turn us back down
~#**************#~
I dont speak, I dont stop
~#**************#~
I just keep on moving
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder & Santigold]
~#**************#~
Fly closer to heaven and far from hell
~#**************#~
Fly, put your wings up, so put your wings up
~#**************#~
Fly far from the city we knew so well
~#**************#~
Fly, so put your wings up, put your wings up
~#**************#~
Time we say goodbye
