Lyrics

There are people I should have loved
Sweet as angels from above
But I never asked them to dance
Living in a lonely shell
No love stories to tell
Always thought there'd be a second chance

Chorus:
Was it my fear of flying
or did my wings just need untying
I don't know why I didn't climb that wall
Pockets of regret for the memories I never met
Oh, I wish I hadn't been afraid to fall

I had words in my head
I wish I would've said
But I was silent
as a street corner mime
I love you's locked inside
all withered up and died
Now buried in the back yard of my mind

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Of all the roads I've traveled
Some were paved and some were gravel
I steered clear of the ones to steep to climb
I took wrong turns instead
while the right roads closed ahead
Stranded down dead end streets half the time

Repeat Chorus

Tag:
If only I had tried to climb that wall
Looking back it really wasn't all that tall
