Story Behind The Song
that's personal!
Song Description
Sad love song about a woman who wants freedom but doesn't seem to be able to leave. She talks about leaving, alludes to what holds her back, then wonders how long will it take before she'll "fly?"
Couched as a love song but the quest for freedom that applies here, rings true in many areas of life.

Lyrics
i should leave you with nothing
no goodbyes or crying
i should cram all my tears in the car and
fly
fly
i could leave here with nothing
a silky kite just soaring
you could keep all the cracks and the scars
while i fly
while i fly
but your voice is a well of wishes that whisper stop
it's like you're shining each penny that i ever dropped
ooh this breeze burns
as the weather turns
when will i twirl in that silver wind
how much longer
how much longer til i
fly
til i fly
til i fly
how much longer
til i fly
