[Verse 1]
Sitting up upon the white walls
The clouds surround my head
The air feels heavy, pressing down
The heart I should have read
Airplanes cross the grey world
That still tries to hold me down
I should have broken out
Several ages before now

[Pre Chorus]
The birds they sit beside me
And they whisper how to fly
But I'm just too afraid
To give that whole damn thing a try

[Chorus]
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
[Verse 2]
Houses built to fence me
Calm the slumbering love down
Since now I see that empty space
Just take a look around
So I'm breaking down the covenant
That forces me to stay
Back behind the desert
That has led my heart astray

[Pre Chorus]
The birds they sit beside me
And they whisper "why so shy?"
But I'm just too afraid
To give that whole damn thing a try
Oh no no no
I'm too afraid

[Chorus]
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid

[Outro]
But I'm just too afraid
But I'm just too afraid
