Franz Ferdinand - Leaving My Old Life Behind lyrics

Well I learned quite a lot Shooting through my mind Things I never guessed at before So I decided To leave my old life behind I don't need it anymore I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds I'm gonna learn to fly the wind I won't stop 'til I've understood it all I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds And gonna understand the air My mind will listen to the stars To everyone else I appear quite the same And I help them as much as I can But they'll never know that my mind is in the air Oh how could they ever understand I'm gonna learn to climb the clouds I'm gonna fall upon the rain I'll learn what lies beneath the earth I'm gonna learn to fly the clouds I'm gonna understand the space I'll even go back beyond birth
