Phoenix

She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings

Why does she always fly away

Oh when I'm feeling as she burns me up inside

Behind those charcoal eyes

I took a breath and let her go

She's as bright as the snow oh ohh oh

So fly away start over somewhere south

She says that the weather's nice

She'd love me to come out

Across the Midwest in the day

Drove a car all the way to Denver

Called me to say she loved the way the mountains still had snow in the summer

I took a breath and held it in

No she's never coming back again

Fly away start over somewhere south

She says that the weather's nice

She'd love me to come out

Go on and fly away

It's not like I need her now

As I'm burning up inside

I'll forgive her somehow

Fly away start over somewhere south

She says that the weather's nice

But I'd love you to come out

Found a way to break in to your chest

And divide what I find into pieces

Take my time

Fly away start over somewhere south

She says that the weather's nice

But I'd love you to come out

Go on and fly away

It's not like I need her now

As I'm burning up inside

I'll forgive her somehow

She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings

Why does she always fly away
