These Wings Are Useless

Is it impossible?
Is it held away or have you lost the lock for it?
This isn't the way my careful thought-out plans were set.
I guess I'm running out of charm.

And are you sure that nothing in your head
is craving something more for us?
Have you somewhere close my foolish head can rest?
I think I'll sleep to pass the time.

But if I could get in your head
Maybe you could understand that
"Better off alone" is just a phase.
Well, I'll write down my reasoning
Well, if you could believe in it, oh, oh

Silly me, something in your smile held so patiently.
I was sure it wasn't like the ones before.
But I guess I saw this from the start.

And now it's endless
I'm heavy on pretending it's okay
That you don't want to take a chance and fly away from it,
So I'll tape my wings back to my side.

But if I could get in your head
Maybe you could understand that
"Better off alone" is just a phase.
Well, I'll write down my reasoning
Well, if you could believe in it
I've grown so tired waiting
On this shade to take me home.

So, what is it that's pulling me?
I know it's not your hands or arms; you see,
They're wrapped around your mouth, holding your tongue.

Love works in a silly way.
You know you've done enough of chasing it away.
It's no wonder that the quiet is your favorite sound.
