Chris Labella - Flyaway lyrics

[Verse 1] Every time I close my eyes, California sunny skies Take my mind to a place called paradise When I open them I'm hopin that it stays But hope is just an opiate, distraction from the pain Freezing rain hitting my face so cold Somebody told me it'd be better when I'm older But if I have to stay here for eternity I'm pretty sure the man in the mirror's gonna murder me So urgently I take to herbally escaping As the clouds take shape, consciousness elevates Shed my nerves and serve up verses on silver plates To a herd of hungry persons who personally relate to me It's not about being a millionaire Just want to see the world, and breathe some different air Put my work in hoping that the music takes me there And when it does, no looking back I swear [Hook] One of these days I'm gonna fly away And I'll never look down, never look down No I'll never look down again One of these days I'm gonna fly away And I'll never look down, never look down No I'll never look down, down [Verse 2] Don't get me wrong, I love the city that I'm from Summer days by the lake lounging in the sun Spend my nights grilling out and hanging with my buds These are the reasons I will always love Madison But physically it's so small And metaphysically my vision's so tall I've hit a ceiling and I got the feeling That if I don't see the world now I might never at all Because in the grander scheme I know I'm meant to do so much more than just having dreams I know I got the power to gather all that I see Mold it into the future create a reality of my own design What I visualize will only manifest itself if I stick to my grind So I gotta stay focused, focus all of my mind On the present. Next thing I know I'll be spreading my wings and flying to the sun [Hook]
