[00:37.700]Life is a tightrope, and you're burning, burning, burning both ends
[00:43.070]It don't always move the way it ought to
[00:47.540]But don't let the ground drag you around
[00:53.040]And these old wings
[00:55.710]Have been a long time, been a long time coming
[00:58.700]These old wings
[01:01.420]Just gotta be good for something

[01:56.400]And these old wings
[01:59.170]Have been a long time, been a long time coming

[02:07.140]Burn these strings so I can see what these old broken things
[02:14.740]If these old wings can fly

[02:42.570]Where people go in gloom
[02:45.120]For friends that are buried there
[02:50.420]She wrote a note to God in a balloon
[02:55.630]And watched as it disappeared

[03:39.150]With these old wings can do
