Switchfoot - Broken Wings Lyrics

Switchfoot Lyrics

"Broken Wings"

I've seen these nights before
Oh...
They always leave me looking for more
Oh...
There's an emptiness
Like a fighter's fist
That I hide inside
But tonight I can't ignore

Could you show me what these broken wings are for?

Could we start right now?
I'm coming back to life
Could we shout out loud
The way we feel inside?

'Cause I don't want to hide my wings any more
Tonight I embrace that flight and I soar
Could you show me what these broken wings are for?

Coming up from the ocean floor
Oh...
I'm a wave crashing onto your shore
Oh...
'Cause it's nights like this
When my wings are fists
I could swear that I was born for something more

Could you show me what these broken wings are for?

Could we start right now?
I'm coming back to life
Could you take these wings
And help me learn to fly?

Could you help me with these broken wings
And I'll fight what the poison brings
Til I fly on these broken wings
And I fight what the poison brings
'Cause I know what these broken wings are for
