    Story Behind the Song
    I was thinking of all the possible superpowers (invisibility, x-ray vision, telekinesie, etc.) and decided that the one I would want most is the ability to fly. I thought about why, and realized that it would mean being able to escape all my past mistakes. So I wrote a song around that basic idea.

    Lyrics
    Fly

    Words and Music by Matt Slaybaugh

    I want a rope to fall down from the sky, the sky.
    Plant some magic beans and grow a ladder vine

    I wish I could fly.
    Leave this world behind

    Driving fast to make illusions of escape.
    Driving fast while driving you away, away

    I wish I could fly.
    Leave this all behind

    Oh, won't you stay with me?
    Oh, won't you say you'll be mine?

    Now you see what it's done to me.
    Rue the day I went away.
    I don't know but I've been told:
    Take a while, see you smile.

    I am only less than half a superman,
    but I will try to catch a bullet in my hand.

    I wish I could fly.
    Leave this all behind

    My regrets are the better part of memory,
    and they have a way of catching up with me.

    I wish I could fly.
    Leave this all behind
