[Verse 1]
I walk the streets where I regret
I stood along and watched myself fall apart
And said the voices in my head
Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

[Chorus]
And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall
Back down again

[Bridge]
But everything that sounded good
I understand that I'll be misunderstood

[Chorus]
And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall
Back down again

[Verse 2]
What do you feel before you think?
What do you see before you blink?
Who do you battle in your dreams?
Who strokes your feathers until you scream?

[Chorus]
And when I'm tired of feeling black
Spread the wings upon your back
Take us high above it all
Stroke your feathers until we fall
Back down again
