Bigger Than My Body

Lyrics

This is a call to the colorblind
 This is an IOU
 Stranded behind a horizon line
 Try to be something true
 Yes, I'm grounded
 Got my wings clipped
 I'm surrounded by
 All this pavement
 Guess I'll circle
 While I'm waiting
 For my fears to dry
 Someday I'll fly
 Someday I'll soar
 Someday I'll be
 Something 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? Yeah
 I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
 And I've never quite returned
 Yes, I'm grounded
 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
 Something much more
 ♪
 'Cause I'm bigger than my body
 Gives me credit for
 'Cause I'm bigger than my body now
 ♪
 Maybe I'll tangle in the 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, oh
 Yes, I'm grounded
 Got my wings clipped
 I'm surrounded by
 All this pavement
 Guess I'll circle
 While I'm waiting
 For my fuse to dry (for my fuse to dry)
 Waiting for my fuse to dry
 Someday I'll fly
 Someday I'll soar
 Someday I'll be
 Something much more
 'Cause I'm bigger than my body
 I'm bigger than my body
 I'm bigger than my body, now
 
 This is a call to the colorblind
 This is an IOU
 Stranded behind a horizon line
 Try to be something true
 Yes, I'm grounded
 Got my wings clipped
 I'm surrounded by
 All this pavement
 Guess I'll circle
 While I'm waiting
 For my fears to dry
 Someday I'll fly
 Someday I'll soar
 Someday I'll be
 Something much more
