Lyrics The Cape - Dashboard Confessional

Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage he's figuring what the heck?
Screwed his courage up so tight that the whole thing come unwound
He got a running start bless his heart he's headed for the ground

Well he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Now hes all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dreams
And he's full of piss and vinegar and he's busting at the seams
So he licked his finger and checked the wind it's gonna be do or die
But he wasn't scared of nothing boys he was pretty sure he could fly

Well he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

And was old and gray with a flour sack cape tied all around his head
And he's still jumping off the garage and he will be 'til he's dead
All these years the people said he's acting like a kid
He did not know he could not fly so he did

Well he's one of those that knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape

Well he's one of those that knows that life is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
Spread your arms and hold your breath and always trust your cape
