VERSE ONE:
Soft foot prints in the wet grass of a/ cool London morning, my feet travel/ anywhere as long as I don't stop, I'm gone/ My mind's torn, won't listen to reason/ my body's aching but my heart's still beating/ and my feet wont slow down until I'm home//
Picture this me/ kicking a six speed/ drive to ends of the earth just to break free/ you don't faze me and you cant erase me/ stuck in my memory and I will forever be/ wanderlust to the point of exhaustion/ my feet wont stop till i get to the ocean/ commandeer a ship, set off to the horizon/ make a new life that's more satisfying/ I look back over my shoulder/ 6th months ago I wasn't feeling any older/ now there's a gap and days getting colder/ I broke a young girls heart and left no one there to hold her/ I keep running because that's the one thing that I'm good at/ now I'm packing my bags and getting ready go back/ what used to be my home, now wont even be that/ then off to find a new home where the sun and palm's at//
CHORUS:
Like birds in the sky won't you lift off your feet/ the look in your eye when our glances meet/ one day we'll find ourselves under the sun/ and play out our cards till our game is done/ I've got to know would you follow me home/ and still think the world of me when I am gone/ but maybe I'm dreaming a fiction of you/ I'm hoping one day my day dreams would come true//
VERSE TWO:
Pale blue sky with the tracks of an airplane/ tracing their paths on the window of my train/ disappear into clouds along with all my thoughts/ sometimes I feel like their all I've got/ putting on the face I smile to my family/ another lie that I can pull off happily/ I'm learning to not let it get the best of me/ one day I will be stronger then I'll be//
It's on now/ kicking the door down/ break into the world and I don't even know how/ to go south/ road tripping and it's cold out/ snowplow break down flow with the low sound/ live life after it's done/ make a few friends and maybe a new one/ close your eyes, sit back and imagine/ one day we won't know what ever happened/ ready, steady, time to find a new path/ get back to the old and I will crash/ find a new hill and I look back/ this whole time and I never forgot my map/ yo soy un perdedor/ getting back to the bass on the dance floor/ this is the only thing I'm looking for/ but in the end I'm always craving more//
CHORUS:
Like birds in the sky won't you lift off your feet/ the look in your eye when our glances meet/ one day we'll find ourselves under the sun/ and play out our cards till our game is done/ I've got to know would you follow me home/ and still think the world of me when I am gone/ but maybe I'm dreaming a fiction of you/ I'm hoping one day my day dreams would come true//
