about

This song was born sometime around 2012. I was sitting on my bed feeling sad and lonely when it just came to me.

lyrics

I think it’s time to clip my wings
I fly too close to the sun
And it’d be better to keep my feet
On the ground, next to you
Where I belong

Allow me to introduce myself, again
I’m the man now that I should have always been
It took some time for me to see
That I needed to make a change, yeah

But I can’t get to you any other way
Through your sleet, your snow, and rain
I can’t get to you any other way
I guess nothing stays the same

I’m going back to the start
To live forever again
With the sense that once escaped me
Will you reach out for me once more?
Your sweet delight it fills my heart
Sinking in deep
I haven’t heard your voice in quite some time
Are you letting go as the days fade into weeks?

I heard it isn’t so
That little birdie
Breaks down my soul

But I can’t get to you any other way
Through your sleet, your snow, and rain
I can’t get to you any other way
I guess nothing stays the same
