Roisin O'Hagan - Road From Nevada

I dreamed of New York
Of being 21 and one day
I felt the highest highs at barely five foot five
Remembered dancing in the dark
Sunday nights in London Town
I was born to run and screaming I'm on fire
All my cynics, they might call me starry eyed
If all my heroes learned to fly then why can't I

I wanna be someone
Wanna live like it won't last long
Wanna see the world and fall from higher heights
I wanna be someone
Wanna love like it's the last one
Wanna see the roads aligning in starlight

Step into the light
It's the moment between fight or flight
It's the fire in the dark the spark ignites
But the road from Nevada took me straight to California
Crossed the canyons took the highway
Now I'm free
I see the shadows of the friends that made me cry
But all my heroes learned to fly and so will I

I wanna be someone
Wanna live like it won't last long
Wanna see the world and fall from higher heights
I wanna be someone
Wanna love like it's the last one
Wanna see the roads aligning in starlight

I know that days gone by look better in hindsight
If all my heroes learned to fly then why can't I

But the road from Nevada took me straight to California
Crossed the canyons took the highway
Now I'm free

I know that days gone by look better in hindsight
But if all my heroes learned to fly then why can't I

I wanna be someone
Wanna live like it won't last long
Wanna see the world and fall from higher heights
I wanna be someone
Wanna love like it's the last one
Wanna see the roads aligning in starlight

I know that days gone by look better in hindsight
If all my heroes learned to fly then why can't I
I know that days gone by look better in hindsight
But all my heroes learned to fly and so will I
