"Grounded" lyrics

We met like strangers
For the first time around
It's like my feet took off
Searching for the ground
And acting casually
We talked about the rain
Talked about the rain
Talked about the rain
Talked about the rain

Clouded by those words
I could not see the graceful birds
Taking off and crossing the sea

And it was pouring
And I was the one to blame
The hollow echoes
Of a time gone by so slow
My voice is fading and
Tuning in so low
Tuning in so low

Clouded by those words

When we were done
I turned around and walked away
I heard the ringing
Of those last words you did say
You turned as well
And watched the sun go down
Watched me leave this town
Watched me leave this town
(Watched me leave this town)

Clouded by those words
I could not see the graceful birds
Taking off and crossing the sea
So lost in time and free

I need to go
So I can rise
And find my way

I will let go
So I can fly
Reach for the stars

This is my time
To be praised and shine
And hide those darkened eyes

I'm burning
I'm burning
Burning so bad

Bridges burning down
I never turned around
With steady footsteps walking one by one
Leaving all behind
Ambitions rising high
Strengthening inner tide

My heart accelerates
And hate evaporates
