Swing Me Higher Than the Sky

Swing Me Higher Than the Sky

Swing me higher than the sky

no really, higher

I want my toes to kick the clouds

I want to forget

what’s waiting when I come down

Don’t tell me to be careful

I’m sick of careful

of rules

of looks

of voices that say

you can’t, you shouldn’t, not like that

Let me fly

just for a second

let me feel bigger than this town

louder than their whispers

stronger than the stuff I don’t say out loud

Push me

like you mean it

like the sky’s not a limit

just a place I’m aiming for

And if I fall

so what

at least I got to leave the ground

at least I tried

Just

don’t stop swinging

not yet

not while I’m still

up here

feeling like me
