[Verse 1] I know I should but I won’t I know I can but I don’t Your name keeps ringing in my throat Like a bell that won’t let go I said I’d leave it at the gate But I’m still standing by the moat Hands in my pockets, staring down At all the words I never spoke [Pre-Chorus] If you could fly, would you go Would you leave me here below Would you rise above the smoke Or come back with a broken hope [Chorus] If you could fly Would you float or cry Before you die Splashing in the moat If you could fly Would you float or cry Before you die Splashing in the moat (in the moat) [Verse 2] I keep your shadow on my tongue Biting back what’s left unsung The water laughs against the stone And I’m too proud to call you home The sky goes pale, the air goes thin I feel that pull beneath my skin One foot out, one foot still Trying to climb, trying to kneel [Pre-Chorus] If you could fly, would you know How to hold what you can’t hold Would you rise above the joke Or fall back in the moat [Chorus] If you could fly Would you float or cry Before you die Splashing in the moat If you could fly Would you float or cry Before you die Splashing in the moat (in the moat) [Bridge] I know I should but I won’t I know I can but I don’t Say it soft, say it slow Maybe that’s all I need to know [Final Chorus] If you could fly Would you float or cry Before you die Splashing in the moat If you could fly Would you float or cry Before you die Splashing in the moat (in the moat)
