leaving my old life behind

Franz Ferdinand

Well I learned quite a lot
Shooting through my mind
Things I never guessed at before
So I decided
To leave my old life behind
I don t need it anymore

I m gonna learn to fly the clouds
I m gonna learn to fly the wind
I won t stop til I ve understood it all

I m gonna learn to fly the clouds
And gonna understand the air
My mind will listen to the stars

To everyone else I appear quite the same
And I help them as much as I can
But they ll never know that my mind is in the air
Oh how could they ever understand

I m gonna learn to climb the clouds
I m gonna fall upon the rain
I ll learn what lies beneath the earth

I m gonna learn to fly the clouds
I m gonna understand the space
I ll even go back beyond birth
