Learn to Fly
Foo Fighters · Greatest Hits [2009]
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
I sat around laughing and watched the last one die
I'm looking to the sky to save me, looking for a sign of life
Looking for something (to) help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking 'cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
I think I'm done, nursing patience
It can wait one night
Give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright
I'm looking to the sky to save me, looking for a sign of life
Looking for something (to) help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to
Bridge
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own
I'm looking to the sky to save me, looking for a sign of life
Looking for something (to) help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to,
I'm looking to the sky to save me, looking for a sign of life
Looking for something (to) help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to fly
Make my way back home when I learn to, to, to, to
