I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here
I'm watching the evening fire burn away my tears
All my life I’ve left my troubles by the door
Leaving is all I've ever known before

Chorus: It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down
It's not the way you call my name that left me Stranded on this ground
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
when the music ends
I am just learning how to fly away again

-instrumental break ...

And maybe you were thinking that you thought you knew me well
But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else
I feel like Garbo in this late night Grande hotel
Cause living alone is all I've ever done well

-Chorus: It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down
It's not the way you call my name that left me
stranded on this ground
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
when the music ends
I am just learning how to fly away again

-Coda: It's not the way you say you hear my heart
when the music ends
I am just learning how to fly away again
