Lyrics
i watch you fly solo
with my soul on the ground
and i must learn to swallow my pride
i want to grind my teeth on
why you this time
the time i suppose is never right
but you can?t bring me up
and you can?t bring me down
if i get caught in a headwind and can?t keep up
move on, i?ll be along
i will try and try as i might
? as you showed me
i will follow you this time
i will stretch my wings one more
time ? and hope that one day
i will catch you from behind
but you can?t bring me up
and you can?t bring me down
if i get caught in a headwind and can?t keep up
move on, i?ll be along
farewell, little brother
take one, then another
if you?re great than you?re greater then i
but you can?t bring me up
and you can?t bring me down
if i get caught in a headwind and can?t keep up
move on, i?ll be along
