What's keeping me, what's keeping me 

God tell me what is keeping me 

I thought I saw Resolution yesterday 

But he just smiled and waved 



What's holding me, what's holding me 

Dear God, what is holding me 

I thought I knew what laid in store 

I didn't count on locked up doors 



And all I know is something happened 

The wind changed directions 

The lovers cried and the birds flew away 



Why did I stay, why did I stay 



What tied me up, what tied me up 

Like chewing gum my feet got stuck 

I'm sitting in this rusty room 

All prepared to face my doom 



You laughed at me, you laughed at me 

Said that kind of life don't come for free 

I smiled, said no, and not much does 

But why are my feet still stuck 



Again signs all pointed to 

Following my simple truth 

The lovers cried and more birds flew away 



Why did I stay, why did I stay 



I can't be a walking restriction anymore 

I can't deny what fate's got in store 

Why do I stay, why do I stay 

Please tell me I don't have to stay 



Friend told me I'll lend you some change 

Go find out who's calling your name 

Leave your goodbyes with me tonight 

Don't mind what's wrong just go set it right 



Last boarding call to LA 

Take your tickets here, right this way 

Don't care if I become a star 

I just wanna play my guitar 



Something's happening 

The wind changed directions 

The lovers smiled and the last birds flew away 

I didn't stay, I didn't stay 

I flew away 

I flew away 

Don't stay 

Fly away
