Lyrics

Fly (I Know How You Feel)
(© 1995 Music and Lyrics Andy Hill)

The girl is very independent
She ain’t desperate and she ain’t scared
When she looks in your direction
Her allegiance undeclared
She’s a brand new love
If you can understand it
And you’ll fall into her arms
Like her bracelets and her charms
Just as she planned it

And I know just how you feel
I once made the bluebird sigh
You can build your nest to hold her
But the bird was meant to fly

You’re home constructing obligation
You might as well be flexing in the mirror
The things that scare you most
Are the things that she holds dear
Still that part of her she gives you
Is irresistible and free
Its worth the price of all that’s missing
And there’s no place you’d rather be

And I know just how you feel
I once made the bluebird sigh
You can build your nest to hold her
But the bird was meant to fly

Love is the illusion you say in your confusion
That one woman differs from another
Smash her picture on the floor
And swear no more, no more
As you replace it with another picture of her

And I know just how you feel
I once called the bluebird mine
You can build your nest to hold her
But you know as well as I
If you build your nest to hold her
The fool’s tears are yours to cry
