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
Iâm sitting in this rusty room
All prepared to face my doom
You laughed at me, you laughed at me
Said that kind of life donât 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 canât be a walking restriction anymore
I canât deny what fateâs got in store
Why do I stay, why do I stay
Please tell me I donât have to stay
Friend told me Iâll lend you some change
Go find out whoâs calling your name
Leave your goodbyes with me tonight
Donât mind whatâs wrong just go set it right
Last boarding call to LA
Take your tickets here, right this way
Donât care if I become a star
I just wanna play my guitar
Somethingâs happening
The wind changed directions
The lovers smiled and the last birds flew away
I didnât stay, I didnât stay
I flew away
I flew away
Donât stay
Fly away
