Leaving My Old Life Behind Franz Ferdinand

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
