How It Feels To Fly Lyrics

Have you ever felt so strong
That made you feel weak?
Long days
Long nights
And you just can't sleep

Have you ever been so sure
That it gave you cold feet?
Got you floatin' on air
You can feel your heart beat

Well, I never known this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah) yeah

Have you ever felt so lost
But didn't know 'til you were found?
Looking everywhere
But you finally see now

In a room full of people
Feel like no one's around
Got your head in the clouds
And your feet are off the ground

Say I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am riding high
Don't want to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And if I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah) we get to go

(Fly)
Higher (fly)
Higher (fly high)

I am riding high
Don't wanna to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

I am riding high
Don't wanna to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
(Forever)
