"Like A Cardinal" lyrics

I wanna hold you forever
But I won't hold you back
Blinded by blue lights
You're all that I have
I'll always remember
That gold in your eyes
Won't lose its shine
Like stars in the sky

I know I've got some dark thoughts in my mind
Dancin' on a tightrope sometimes
Feeling like a cardinal in flight
But I'm too afraid to die

Flyin' like a cardinal
Flyin' like a cardinal
Like crimson in the sky
I'm flyin' like a cardinal

If I hold on to nothing (nothing)
Will you leave me for dead?
Circle like vultures
'Til there's nothing left
I'm lost in the moment (moment)
I'm lost in your eyes
Starting to paralyze
You're my paradise (paradise)

I know I've got some dark thoughts in my mind
Dancin' on a tightrope sometimes
Feeling like a cardinal in flight
But I'm too afraid to die

Flyin' like a cardinal
Flyin' like a cardinal
Like crimson in the sky
I'm flyin' like a cardinal

I won't hold you back
I just want you to fly
These midnight skies are burning black
I'm too afraid to die

I know I've got some dark thoughts in my mind
Dancin' on a tightrope sometimes
Flyin'-
Like a cardinal

Flyin' like a cardinal
Like crimson in the sky
I'm flyin' like a cardinal
(Some dark thoughts in my mind)
Flyin' like a cardinal
(Tightrope sometimes)
Like crimson in the sky
I'm flyin' like a cardinal

Fly like a cardinal
Fly like a cardinal
Fly like a cardinal
