Built to Fly Lyrics

when the new year came
i didn't even note
what a miracle it's been
i let it wander these days
weigh the whole thing up
like it didn't just begin
i just can't stop myself from pretending
i can't turn down the anticipation inside

but even when i soar
unrestrained up high
i feel it in my bones
i wasn't built to fly
as quickly as it comes
it rushes from my grasp
forcing me to trace the breadcrumbs back
felt like a relic of late
i've got a petty fear
for the neighborhood to change
(and it changes all the time)
and if i've been lashing out
let it be known
i couldn't make it on my own
(i couldn't be alone)
