[Verse 1]
Fourteen, back with my teens again,
Thought I’d feel the same, but the air had changed.
A call from school, go home today,
Heart was racing — was it trouble or a cake?
Open the door… time froze in place,
My father standing there with a brand new face.
Years went silent, I didn’t know what to say,
Smile or cry, run or stay.
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, “Come with me, leave the pain behind,”
Promised us a future, a brand new life.
Stepmom by his side, with a suitcase plan,
Mom said yes… and so it began.
[Chorus]
We flew away, from a land of sun and pain,
To the cold night lights, to a world so strange.
Goodbye to my roots, to the laughter, to the games,
But I had to go, I had to find a better way.
I came back… just to fly away.
[Verse 2]
Woodside nights, yellow buses, new rules,
A school full of accents, a shy kid lost in truth.
Used to be loud, now I barely spoke,
Trying to belong, but the pieces broke.
Bullies came, like shadows in a dream,
Pushed too far, so I snapped the scene.
Chair hit the floor, silence fell like stone,
Respect was born through pain unknown.
[Pre-Chorus]
But then he came, my brother in the fight,
Not by blood, but we lit the night.
Danced with pride, through the school’s parade,
First real friend I ever made.
[Chorus]
We flew away, from a land of sun and pain,
To the cold night lights, to a world so strange.
Goodbye to my roots, to the laughter, to the games,
But I had to go, I had to find a better way.
I came back… just to fly away.
[Bridge]
Prom nights, lost trains, New York fairs,
First time sick, no one cared.
Stepmom’s smile, but her heart betrayed,
Thrown-out memories, like we’re just names.
Fake smiles, freezing tears,
Wishing someone saw through the years.
Dance video promise, lost to the snow,
And the love I wanted, just let me go.
[Breakdown]
I walked alone in a concrete maze,
Maps in my head, heart in a haze.
But I found my way, through the cold and rain,
Even when the world forgot my name.
[Final Chorus]
I flew away, from the child I used to be,
To chase a dream, through broken memories.
New world, new scars, but I still believed,
That love and light could live in me.
I came back… just to fly away.
And maybe one day… I’ll fly and stay.
