[Verse 1]

He traces her name in the dust

That lives at the top

Of the living room table

Just a fingertip swirl

Meant for the girl

That he can't seem to label

[Chorus]

Mindless and cruel

This work of art

He's done to himself

To call him a fool

Is too kind a word

He sketches what's left

[Verse 2]

Like the first black clouds at Pompeii

There was bound to be more

Than just rain here

Now that the ashes have cooled

The I told you so's

Are all that remain here

[Chorus]

She had thе wings

You swore didn't exist

She had thе way

That you shrugged aside

Shaking off gravity

Is what she does best

Did you look up?

Did you see her fly?

Fly? Fly? Fly? Fly? Fly?

[Verse 3]

If you could flip a few pages ahead

What would you do once you found this

Half-empty bed and these

Trinkets and tears that she left

That at this time seem timeless

[Chorus]

She had the wings

You swore didn't exist

She had the way

That you shrugged aside

Shaking off gravity

Is what she does best

Did you look up?

Did you see her fly?

Fly? Fly? Fly? Fly?

[Outro]

Oh did you see her fly?

Oh, when you look back at what went wrong

Did you think she'd be up and gone and fly?

Fly?
