Get Off The Ground

Walking.
the same old streets
Silently begging for Someone to walk with me,
Singing.
The same old songs.
Silently begging for
Someone to sing along.
(Can you even see my shadow? 
It lingers for too long.)
Oh.
(Can you even hear my voice?
Singing the notes all wrong.)
Oh.
When the sun doesn’t shine,
And I can’t call you mine,
Yeah that’s coming 
If I don’t change at all


I know I’m not good,
But by God,
I will try,
Before it’s too late,
To repair my life.
When good equals bad,
You know you’ve fallen down.
So come fly with me,
Get off the ground.


Telling.
The children not to cry,
Waiting for too long,
As they’re about to die.
Praying,

For something good to come.
Waiting for too long,
As it never does.
(Can you even hear my plead? 
It echoes everywhere.)
Oh.
(Can you even see my hope?
Or do you even care?)
Oh.
When the moon doesn’t gleam,
And I can’t root for my team,
Yeah that’s coming
If I don’t change at all.


I know I’m not good,
But by God,
I will try,
Before it’s too late,
To repair my life.
When good equals bad,
You know you’ve fallen down.
So come fly with me,
Get off the ground.
Get off the ground.

(Oh.
Have you fallen?
Can you ever rise from this?
Oh.
You’re coming crawling,
Down on your knees to me!)


I know I’m not good,
But by God,
I will try,
Before it’s too late,
To repair my life.
When good equals bad,
You know you’ve fallen down.
So come fly with me,
Get off the ground.
Get off the ground.
Get off the…
