Verse one:

We used to walk down the streets

Of the old town we grew up in

We used to talk until our lips couldn't open

We used to sing sweet melodies and harmonies

Like the birds in the air flying away

Pre-chorus:
How I wish I could be like them

Chorus:
I want to fly away
Take me back to that place, take me back to that place
Fly away
I want you to scream my name until it sounds foreign
I want to leave here - where everything is so unclear
I want to fly away, fly away

Verse two:

You used to hold me close

And then we drifted away - I pushed you away

You used to talk to other girls

You used to pretend it didn't matter at all

Like they were something special

Pre-chorus:
How I wish I could be like them

Chorus:
I want to fly away
Take me back to that place, take me back to that place
Fly away
I want you to scream my name until it sounds foreign
I want to leave here - where everything is so unclear
I want to fly away, fly away

Chorus:
I want to fly away
Take me back to that place, take me back to that place
Fly away
I want you to scream my name until it sounds foreign
I want to leave here - where everything is so unclear
I want to fly away, fly away
