Story Behind The Song

Watched a friend damn near lose the love of his life by not telling her how he felt. I played it for him and later, for his new wife. ;-)

Song Description

About the common thread of being afraid to get into or out of relationships

Lyrics

FEAR OF FLYIN?

It?s been two years and he wants to give her a ring
Love is strong and he wants to test its wings.
When she?s lyin? in his arms he feels like he could touch the sky
He?s just a little scared to fly.

Chorus:
Yeah, he?s got a fear of flyin?
Afraid of every tryin?.
To pick up the feet he?s planted so firmly on the ground
Afraid of crashin? and burin?
Scare of hurtin? but still yearnin?
For the heights he knows she?d take him to
But it seems a long way down.

Married for ten years and seein? things like she never did before
He?s not all she?d dreamed he?d be, and she finds she?s wantin? more
But leaving him is a big chance she?d be riskin? everything
Maybe she?s ready to try her wings?

Chorus:
But she?s got a fear of flyin
Afraid of even tryin?.
To pick up her feet he?s planted, so firmly on the ground
Afraid of crashin? and burin
Scare of hurtin? but still yearnin?
For the heights she knows she could get to
But it seems a long way down.

There comes a point in every love where there?s a chance you take
Give your heart to someone else knowin? well that is might break.
N? sometimes you watch your love just go crashin? to the floor
But you remember when it soared.

Chorus:
Yeah, we got a fear of flyin?
Afraid of every tryin?.
To pick up the feet we?ve planted so firmly on the ground
Afraid of crashin? and burnin?
Scared of hurtin? but still yearnin?
For the heights we know we could get to
But it seems a long way down

You can?t tell how high you?re flyin? if you don?t look down.
