You know, sometimes we just have to come back down and deal with the real world and open ourselves up to the people around us. Our lives are much more fulfilling that way.
lyrics
Hello to myself
Safe and sound inside my own head
I'm flying like a kite
Where my dreams in the clouds reside
I feel a tug on my line
As the world tries to drag me down
It pulls me harder each time
Back down where I don't belong
Back down
Chorus:
Why can't I stay up here
Where I breathe the clean air (2x)
Will we open up our tongues
And then find a song that's never been sung
Or will we open up our hearts
And then find we knew it all along
But I'll just keep singing along
Far above the cares of the world
'Cause hearts seldom will ever pine
For the song of the unsung
The song
Why did I ever think that I could fly away from this
Down below, deep inside the earth so cold
You can hear a quiet groan calling up to God's throne
Sun so bright, burn away this lonely night
God, give me peace
My head's stuck in the clouds
Even though I'm trying to keep my feet planted on the ground
But I guess my life is where my tether is for now
I'm all but used up
There's nothing left to say anymore (4x)
