That Don't Fly - The Posies

Someone you knew wasn’t able to be true

I can’t help you now

Led away weigh in your chains, when you asked me for changes

I can’t help you now

It’s got me more than just down

We used to disagree so well

But that’s long gone

And I wonder if you even noticed I’d left you

For another shore

And I try to resemble the score that I settle

But that just don’t fly with me

That just don’t fly

And I cry, tears like I haven’t cried in years

When I say goodbye

I stood on the floor of the Monument Valley

Sky deep with stars

And I asked «are you safe from the thieves in this country»?

I hope that you are

Sanitized souls, did you airbrush out your roles?

I can’t help but ask

I used to be young with a strong constitution

Just look at me now

Every broadcast disaster just adds a new wrinkle

But that just don’t fly with me

That just don’t fly

And I cry tears like I haven’t cried in years

I had to say goodbye

Don’t make me cry, don’t give me one more flyby

I can’t stand the sight

A plan that’s delayed by its own executioner

What’s left to debate?

And I hope that my protests will prove to be useless

And we can move on

But the street that I lived on, the grass that I laid on

When will it be gone?

Are we deep in the dream of a chemical scion?

But that just don’t fly with me

That just don’t fly

And I cry

Cry tears like I haven’t cried in years

I had to say goodbye

I had to say goodbye
