What's keeping me, what's keeping me
    
God tell me what is keeping me
                                
I thought I saw Resolution yesterday
                          
But he just smiled and waved

       
What's holding me, what's holding me
     
Dear God, what is holding me
  
I thought I knew what laid in store
                 
I didn't count on locked up doors


       
And all I know is something happened
                  
The wind changed directions
                                   
The lovers cried and the birds flew away

                         
Why did I stay, why did I stay


     
What tied me up, what tied me up
     
Like chewing gum my feet got stuck
    
I'm sitting in this rusty room
               
All prepared to face my doom

     
You laughed at me, you laughed at me
          
Said that kind of life don't come for free
  
I smiled, said no, and not much does
              
But why are my feet still stuck


   
And again signs all pointed to
                   
Following my simple truth
                                    
The lovers cried and more birds flew away

                         
Why did I stay, why did I stay
                         
Why did I stay, why did I stay

   /


                                   
 I can't be a walking restriction anymore
                               
 I can't deny what fate's got in store
            
 Why do I stay, why do I stay
                       
 Please tell me I don't have to stay



Friend told me I'll lend you some change
   
Go find out who's calling your name

Leave your goodbyes with me tonight
                              
Don't mind what's wrong just go set it right

     
Last boarding call to LA
          
Take your tickets here, right this way
      
Don't care if I become a star
                 
I just wanna play my guitar


   
And something's happening
                  
The wind changed directions
                                         
The lovers smiled and the last birds flew away

                      
I didn't stay, I didn't stay
                      
I didn't stay, I didn't stay
            
I flew away
         
Don't stay
    
Fly away
