[Verse 1]
I left more than just a city
Never was what you expected me to be
I left the comfortable and easy
Going where growing up's the only guarantee
Placed my bets on California
Knocking from door to door, but all of them were closed

[Pre-Chorus]
Faced with a hundred "no's"
Countless "I told you so's”
I'm walking on a tight rope

[Chorus]
If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?
I could lose it all
But I'll be damned if I don't try
They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head
Stuck in a day dream, so what if I am?
If I never fall, then I'll never learn to
Never learn to fly

[Verse 2]
Too used to taking in opinions
Too used to letting empty words get to me
No longer asking for permission
It's about time to be who I want to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Though it gets overwhelming
I'm gonna keep on trying
I'm walking on this tight rope

[Chorus]
If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?
I could lose it all
But I'll be damned if I don't try
They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head
Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am?
If I never fall, then I'll never learn to
Never learn to fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Faced with a hundred "no's"
Countless "I told you so's”
I'm walking on a tight rope

[Chorus]
If I never fall, will I ever learn to fly?
I could lose it all
But I'll be damned if I don't try
They say that I'm crazy, I'm out of my head
Stuck in a daydream, so what if I am?
If I never fall, then I'll never learn to
Never learn to fly
