lyrics
Sometimes I find myself
way up in the air.
I try to think myself
so I might fly somewhere.
And when I get there
I can only stare.
How can this be fair?
Tell me how can this be?
What is hap’nin’ to me?
Sometimes I tell myself
I must compel myself
That’s when I tell myself that I
must be high
as I touch the sky
right there above you.
I swear it’s all true.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must be strong.
I know I’ve tried so hard now
it just can’t be long.
I see it clearly but I
might be wrong.
So I sing this song
As I dream about you.
And all the things we might do.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must compel myself
That’s when I tell myself I
must be high
as I touch the sky
right there above you.
I swear it’s all true.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must compel myself
That’s when I tell myself I
must be high
as I touch the sky
right there above you.
I swear it’s all true.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must propel myself
That’s when I tell myself
That it’s time to fly
though I don’t know why
so I bid you goodbye
as I take to the sky...
Sometimes I tell myself...
way up in the air.
I try to think myself
so I might fly somewhere.
And when I get there
I can only stare.
How can this be fair?
Tell me how can this be?
What is hap’nin’ to me?
Sometimes I tell myself
I must compel myself
That’s when I tell myself that I
must be high
as I touch the sky
right there above you.
I swear it’s all true.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must be strong.
I know I’ve tried so hard now
it just can’t be long.
I see it clearly but I
might be wrong.
So I sing this song
As I dream about you.
And all the things we might do.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must compel myself
That’s when I tell myself I
must be high
as I touch the sky
right there above you.
I swear it’s all true.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must compel myself
That’s when I tell myself I
must be high
as I touch the sky
right there above you.
I swear it’s all true.
Sometimes I tell myself
I must propel myself
That’s when I tell myself
That it’s time to fly
though I don’t know why
so I bid you goodbye
as I take to the sky...
Sometimes I tell myself...
