Ignoring the Feeling

Lyrics:

Ignoring the feeling
Feel it in your bones
You won’t want to hear it
When you’re feeling alone
You’ll never believe it
When you’re out on your own
You may not perceive it
When you feel far from home

Then one day you realized, looking up at the sky, that it wasn’t so high
Twinkle in your eye
Now everyone you meet is an opportunity towards paradise

Because you can be whatever you please
You can do what you choose and enjoy everything between 
You can go outside and create your own destiny 
Knowing you can do anything, why can’t you love me?

If the world is your oyster
You could throw it away
Or harvest the pearl
And wear it every day
Now you hold the illusion
Do whatever you may
But you came to conclusions
When you then walked away

Then one day you flipped and flied, falling up towards the sky, and you saw the world alive
Held it in your eye
Now everything you see is in reach, and you dare not to pass it by

Because you can be whatever you please
You can do what you choose and enjoy everything between 
You can go outside and create your own destiny 
Knowing you can do anything, why can’t you love me?
