You say you're worried about the shape I'm in
I don't care why, 'cause I don't give a damn
Think I'm stuck on you like a coat a paint
Well, I am what I am and I ain't what I ain't
Look, I'm just fooling myself
Sitting up here on your shelf
I don't mind if I lose my mind
If I can't learn to fly, let me fall, bombs away
And I don't care if I split the air on some wing and prayer
Let me fall, bombs away~
...
You say I act like a sentimental dope
I say kiss me quick then show me the rope
When the love I gave nearly jumped the rail
The look you gave was beyond the pale
So I'm taking the plunge
Here, let me show you how it's done
I don't mind if I lose my mind
If I can't learn to fly, let me fall, bombs away
And I'm not worried if I hit the curve
And I ain't no bird, let me fall
Bombs away~
...
Say you wanna new lover but you wanna be friends
Fool me once, you think you'll fool me again?
Now, it's bombs away and if I don't make land
I don't care what and I don't give a damn
See I'm better off its true
And them skies they look so blue
I don't mind if I lose my mind
If I can't learn to fly, let me fall, bombs away
And I'm not scared if I pierce the air
And I ain't got a prayer let me fall, bombs away
I don't mind if I've blown my mind for the thousandth time
Let me fall
Bombs away~
