"Earthbound" Lyrics

One more chance to set the stage
What game do I have to play
I fall reaching for the sky
Pulled down to Earth before my time

If I open my soul and let you in
You'll see nothing there to warm you
I'm as close to you
As you are to the stars
I've nothing to give to you
Nothing to give to you

I can't fly if you hold me down
You hold me on the ground
I can't fly if you hold me down
With you I'll always be earthbound

You'll love me and tell me I'm the best
Brand me then leave me with the rest
Are you threatened by the light
Scared of a sun that shines too bright

If I open up my soul and let you in
You'll see so much there to harm you
I'm as close to you as you are to the moon
I've nothing to give to you nothing to give to you

I can't fly if you hold me down
You hold me on the ground
I can't fly if you hold me down
With you I'll always be earthbound
