Like a broken basketball on a dirty backyard court, I was unable to roll away but I have air now.
Up this ladder, I keep climbing
trying to reach a little farther,
dig my hands into the water,
breaking up the storm.
(and there she goes)
[chorus]
Blackbird, fly away
into the hollow sky.
Blackbird, take me with you
'cause I can't fly.
I'll hold on tightly
(but I can't fly)
Looking up , I reach out,
stealing falling feathers
as they tumble to the ground.
It's strange how they
work so well for you
while slowing me down.
(blackbird, I envy you)
(repeat chorus)
I could leave here on my own
if my heart was not so heavy
maybe you can teach me
how to swim in the sky.
(repeat chorus excessively)
