Lyrics
Everyone needs a hiding place
Everyone needs to feel safe
Found mine in a dream I had
Outside a world gone mad
So I’m loving my lie
And I’m willing myself to fly
And I’m breaking but I’m going out in style
But I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
No, I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Everyone needs a fighting chance
Everyone needs a sword in their hands
Found strength in the dream I had
No gravity holding me back
So I’m loving my lie
And I’m willing myself to fly
And I’m breaking but I’m going out in style
But I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
No, I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Everyone needs a hiding place
Everyone needs a saving grace
Everyone needs to dig out a hole
But I was born with a restless soul
’Cause I was ever meant to
’Cause I was ever meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
Yeah, I was ever meant to
I was ever meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
