training wheels
(Scott Avery)

Out of the past you appear
Friend, I¹m so glad you are here
So much to say
So much I never made clear
Back in the times
I rode high upon my fear

Riding on little kid wheels
Scared of how falling might feel
Idiot grin, my cover was thin
But not real
Keeping inside
What my heart cried to reveal

Now I won¹t go back to training wheels
I won¹t go back to training wheels
I won¹t go back
I know exactly how it feels
To land on my own heels

Shatter the idiot grin
Pour out the truth from within
Took me so long
I don¹t know where to begin
I love you now
As I loved you way back then

And I won¹t go back to training wheels
I won¹t go back to training wheels
I won¹t go back
I know exactly how it feels
To land on my own heels

I¹m not afraid anymore, no, no
I¹m not afraid anymore, no, no
I¹m not afraid anymore

I¹m gonna hit me some curbs
I¹m gonna stutter and swerve
Slam into trees, bang up my knees
Take my word
But I won¹t go back to training wheels...
