"Blue Chalk (Fly)" lyrics

Blue chalk on a lazy Sunday
Playing handball on the driveway
I'm gonna be Mariah someday
Yes, no, or maybe later
I am asking my eraser
Was I meant for something greater?

'Cause I miss not knowing any better
Life was lighter being none the wiser

Who took away your holy treasure
Made you believe the lies?
Who took your wings and cut your feathers
And told you you couldn't fly?
That you couldn't fly, fly, fly
That you couldn't fly, fly, fly

Gridlock on your dark grey Tuesday
Chasing dreams like it's a toothache
But I don't think I have what it takes
That eraser's such a liar
I don't dream, just wake up tired
Now these chords are turning minor (ooh)

'Cause I miss not knowing any better (ooh)
'Cause I am so sick of holding it together, yeah

Who took away your holy treasure
Made you believe the lies?
Who took your wings and cut your feathers
And told you you couldn't fly?
That you couldn't fly, fly, fly
That you couldn't fly, fly, fly (ooh)

Let our fingers trace all our dreams
With blue chalk on sunburnt concrete (ah-ah)
Old memories that glow in the dark
You were always there, like stardust in my hair

Who took away your holy treasure
Made you believe the lies?
Who took your wings and cut your feathers
And told you you couldn't fly? (And told you)
That you couldn't fly, fly, fly
That you couldn't fly, fly, fly

Oh, you couldn't fly (fly, fly, fly)
You couldn't fly, oh (fly, fly, fly)
Oh, you could fly
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)

(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)

(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told you you couldn't fly)
(And told)
