Why Can’t I?

[Verse 1]
I was down by the water
And I was so scared
So frightened by
The crashing waves
And you were right beside me
And you were so prepared
So unafraid
You were laughing in the rain
Why can't we be each other's wings?
Carrying each other away
From unfortunate things
We were there when it mattered
And that is all we need
To carry us away

[Chorus]
So, why can't we fly?
Why can't we fly away from uncertainty?
And why can't we fly?
Why can't I?

[Verse 2]
You always knew what you needed
And I was so unsure
You shook the ground I walked upon
So understandably you stepped away
To give me a little time to look around
And catch my breath

[Bridge]
You know I don't want to walk alone
I want to walk together with you now

[Verse 3]
Why can't we be each other's wings?
Carrying each other away
From unfortunate things
We were there when it mattered
And that is all we need
To carry us away

[Chorus]
So, why can't we fly?
Why can't we fly away from uncertainty?
And why can't we fly?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
For so long
Its been a while since these clouds have been lifted
Why can't I leave it all behind
Or rise above it all and fly?

[Outro]
I was down the water
And I was so scared
