lyrics

I wish I learned how to hold my breath,
I wish I learned how to hold my breath,
Because someone once told me that if I hold you in,
Time moves slow, if I hold everything in.
Because someone had once told me, if I breath you in,
I'll feel you all along my skin.

I wish I learned how to spread my wings,
I wish I learned how to spread my wings.
Because someone once told me if I spread my feathers,
The wind will catch me and take me right to my endeavours.
Because someone had told me if we spread our wings,
Then we'll begin to feel like kings.

And maybe if we just start free falling,
Everything will fall into play.
And maybe if we stop stalling,
Everything will follow our way,
And maybe if we just start free falling,
Everything will fall into play.
And maybe if we stop stalling,
Everything will follow our way,
And the wind will catch our wings.

I wish I learned how to control myself,
I wish I learned how to control my fear,
Someone once told me if I let you in,
I'll learn to better my sin,
Because someone once told me if I face my fears,
I'll only feel you near.

And maybe if we just start free falling,
Everything will fall into play.
And maybe if we stop stalling,
Everything will follow our way,
And maybe if we just start free falling,
Everything will fall into play.
And maybe if we stop stalling,
Everything will follow our way,
And the wind will catch our wings.

Flybird, you've caught my eyes,
Flybird you inspire me to fly,
Your wings are to beautiful to be wasted,
And it'd be a shame if someone made you stop,
But I guess that's what a broken heart does,
It makes you put away your precious wings.

And maybe if we just start free falling,
Everything will fall into play.
And maybe if we stop stalling,
Everything will follow our way,
And maybe if we just start free falling,
Everything will fall into play.
And maybe if we stop stalling,
Everything will follow our way,
And the wind will catch our wings.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
