I am barely a man
My soft sandpaper cheek
Should help you understand
My brow is furrowed deep
The darkness of those lines

They make my mother weep
They told me this way will be better son
They told me this way is the only you one

But I am gonna fly away
Cause I am blue like a jay
And I don’t wanna hear you say
That you know what is better

Take all these things I have away
I'll hold on to my soul
Since you took my heart from me
Break the CDs that I made
Cause I have come and gone
Like the darkness and the day

They told me this way will be better son
They told me this way is the only you one

But I am gonna fly away
Cause I am blue like a jay
And I don’t wanna hear you say
That you know what is better
I need (need to) see the
I need (need to) see the
Need to see the world

But I am gonna fly away
Cause I am blue like a jay
And I don’t wanna hear you say
That you know what is better
