Ok, so it's been awhile since I posted lyrics on here. Mostly because I can't seem to finish a song these days. I've got a bunch of partials, but no completed ones. So i finished one. And I finished one that is about 15 months old. I first wrote it when I moved to Florida in August '06. And I just finished it, in light of my impending move to Australia. Here it is, I call it 'Airplane'.
My stuff in two suitcases
My life regenerated
I'll be one less distraction in this town
It's twelve inches or less
From my heart to my head
So why cant' they work together now
My flight is like a fortress
Meant to protect my heart
From my mind and getting too close
Your face has been forever
Burned into my memory
Like a photograph that I can't dispose
So pilot take me far away from here
Don't you let this turbulence give your heart fear
Cause it's a long way down
it's a long way down
My stuff in two suitcases
This place is over rated
This town is full of distractions
Bright summer sunny days
Rid no one of their pain
Or this collective song of dejection
Goodbyes feel insincere
All i've got is what i'm leaving here
I'll let you pick up the pieces
I still taste your maybelline
I know I leave a tragic scene
But i don't need to defend to you my reasons
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
With the hope that I'll return someday
It's got kind of a laid back fingerstyle blues feel to it...if that helps you hear it at all...you like?
