Carrie Newcomer - Anything with Wings lyrics

It wasn't what I planned It's just how it's comin' down I didn't understand Just doing what I could I was out of my mind Thinkin' it couldn't break me Driving blind Anywhere this thing would take me I've held it in my hands Pressed my cheek against it But it slipped through like water or sand Or some well-intentioned words I will never believe This is time wasted I will not grieve Anything with wings Now that's the point of waking dreams The unexpected living brings I won't regret or stop hoping In anyone or anything with wings I've known it all along That's the way the world runs It's not right or wrong Just to ask for what is fair Goodnight sounds like goodbye But that's just how it's comin' down No I never got it right But that don't mean it wasn't true I was out of my mind Thinkin' it couldn't break me Driving blind Anywhere this thing would take me I will never believe This time is wasted I will not grieve Anything with wings
