John Mayer lyrics - Bigger Than My Body

album: Heavier Things (2003)
album: As/Is Vol. 2 (iTunes)
album: As/Is Vol. 3 (iTunes)
album: As/Is Vol. 1 (iTunes)
genre:

This is a call to the colorblind 
This is an IOU 
Stranded behind a horizon line 
Try to be something true 

Yes, I'm grounded 
Got my wings clipped 
I'm surrounded by 
All this pavement 
Guess I'll circle 
While I'm waiting 
For my fuse to dry 

Chorus: 
Someday I'll fly 
Someday I'll soar 
Someday I'll be 
So damn much more 
Cause I'm bigger than my body 
Gives me credit for 

Why is it not the time? 
What is there more to learn? 
I've shed this skin I've been tripping in 
And I've never quite returned 

Yes, I'm grounded 
Got my wings clipped 
I'm surrounded by 
All this pavement 
Guess I'll circle 
While I'm waiting 
For my fuse to dry 

Chorus 

Cause I'm bigger than my body now 

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines 
And it might be over in a second's time 
But I'll gladly go down in a flame 
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name 
To remember my name, oh 

Yes, I'm grounded 
Got my wings clipped 
I'm surrounded by 
All this pavement 
Guess I'll circle 
While I'm waiting 
For my fuse to dry 

Chorus 

Cause I'm bigger than my body 
Bigger than my body 
Bigger than my body now
