lyrics

You need to bend the rules
once in a while
because the grass seems greener
on the other side
but the milk turns sour
and the flowers die
And you’ll keep crawling up the hill
with nowhere to hide

You know the stars shine brighter
when there is no light
Dams are built
and rivers run dry
I know you hurt a lot 
but you still get by
You know you have to fly low
before you get to fly high

You know you have to fly low
before you get to fly high
You know you have to fly low
before you get to fly high

Just when you think you’re out
they’re gonna pull you back in
No clue where it ends
you don’t know where to begin
You know the way to hell
and what it’s paved with
People giving advice 
trying to chip in

Because they think they can help
because of where they’ve been
And it’s all in vain
you still die within
But don’t stand on the edge
just run and jump in
They might have made you a sweater
but the thread’s wearing thin
