Lyrics

Fifteen steps and the backpack bursts
This whole night’s gone from bad to worse
Sixteen years she’s been on this earth
And never, never once felt at home

Mom and dad think that’s something’s wrong
Maybe they’re right, she don’t belong
She pulled the pin in junior high
The thoughts come out of nowhere, she wants to know where she can fly

She can fly 4X

Night after night, pacing back and forth
She’s gotta get out, gotta get up north
The town’s a dump, her room’s a cage
She’ll never get out of working minimum wage

God only knows where she comes from
She picks up her clothes, sticks out her thumb
Car after car passes her by
She’s in the middle of nowhere, she wants to know where she can fly

Each and every night, that’s when she takes flight
Soaring higher, never looking down
And each and every day, she puts her dreams away
And she can’t wait to get out of this town

Fifteen steps and the back pack bursts
This whole night’s gone from bad to worse
Sixteen years she’s been on this earth
And there’s no future for her
Until she can fly
