Lyrics of
Learn to Fly

Learn to Fly is a song by the band Foo Fighters, reflecting lead vocalist Dave Grohls desire to find a way out of troubles and the wish to learn to survive on his own. It was partly inspired by Grohls rehab from an overdose and his yearning for a new direction in life.

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing, and watching the last one die

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking 'cause I'm tired of lying
Make my way back home and learn to fly


Think I'm done nursing the patience,
It could wait one night.
Give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life.
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright.

I'm looking to the sky to save me,
Looking for a sign of life.
Looking for something to help me burnout bright.
I'm looking for a complication,
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying.
Make my way back home when I learn to fly.
Make my way back home when I learn to fly

along with me I can't quite make it alone.
Try to make this life my own.
Fly along with me I can't quite make it alone.
Try to make this life my own.

I'm looking to the sky to save me,
Looking for a sign of life.
Looking for something to help me burnout bright.
I'm looking for a complication,
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying.
Make my way back home when I learn to
Looking to the sky to save me,
Looking for a sign of life.
Looking for something to help me burnout bright.
I'm looking for a complication,
Looking 'cause I'm tired of trying.
Make my way back home when I learn to fly.
Make my way back home when I learn to fly.
Make my way back home when I learn to, to, to
