Anything With Wings Lyrics

Carrie Newcomer Anything With Wings

It wasn't what I planned
It's just how it's comin' down
I didn't understand
Just doing what I could

I was out of my mind
Thinkin' it couldn't break me
Driving blind
Anywhere this thing would take me

I've held it in my hands
Pressed my cheek against it
But it slipped through like water or sand
Or some well-intentioned words

I will never believe
This is time wasted
I will not grieve
Anything with wings

Now that's the point of waking dreams
The unexpected living brings
I won't regret or stop hoping
In anyone or anything with wings

I've known it all along
That's the way the world runs
It's not right or wrong
Just to ask for what is fair
Goodnight sounds like goodbye
But that's just how it's comin' down
No I never got it right
But that don't mean it wasn't true

I was out of my mind
Thinkin' it couldn't break me
Driving blind
Anywhere this thing would take me
I will never believe
This time is wasted
I will not grieve
Anything with wings
