  • Sometimes I think I've almost fooled myself
    Sometimes I think I've almost fooled myself
    Spreading out my wings
    Above us like a tree
    Laughing now, out loud
    Almost like I was free (Repeat 2X)

    I look at you as the thing I wanted most
    You look at me, and it's like you've seen a ghost
    I wear the face
    Of all this has cost
    Everything you tried to keep away from me
    Everything I took from you and lost (Repeat 2X)

    Lights shine above me, they're like your eyes above the street
    Lights shine below me, they're like stars beneath my feet
    I stood on your shoulders
    And I walked on my hands
    You watched me while I tried to fall
    You can't bear to watch me land (Repeat 2X)

    Take me away, carry me like a dove
    Take me away, carry me like a dove
    Love me like you're lying
    Let me feel you near
    Remember me for trying
    And excuse me while I disappear (Repeat 2X)
    I disappear...disappear Writer/s: JOE HENRY
