I Can Fly

Matthew wrote this song a couple of years ago for his friend’s wedding. The song has surfaced a few times at live concerts and on internet bootlegs, but this is the first time he’s gone into the studio to record it properly.

Lyrics:

I have climbed since I was a little child.
Every step I made my choice,
but now I’m stuck here on this mountain
and I just need to hear your voice.

‘Cause my hands start to shaking
my boots start to quaking
and I feel like I’m on a ride,
but baby when I’m with you I can fly.

I stand strong, I stand on my own two feet.
At least that’s what I tell my friends,
but lately I’ve found someone to lean on.
I don’t think that I’ll stand alone again.

‘Cause my hands start to shaking
my boots start to quaking
and I feel a tremor inside,
but baby when I’m with you I can fly.

Baby I’m out on a limb
where my blood goes cold and the air gets thin.
I’m so far from the ground,
but if you’re with me I’m never coming down.

Where my hands start to shaking
my boots start to quaking
and I feel my sense collide,
but baby when I’m with you
I can do anything that you want me to:
Break the speed of light,
wake the sun up at night,
just as long as you’re right with me,
I know I can fly.
