PAPER PLANE
(bourbon, aperol, amaro nonino, lemon juice)
Take off and fly the path that I designed
Lined up for a win this time
Row of lights to guide me on.
So why do I feel mounting dread… I’m flying blind?
[chorus]
Now I plummet in the wind
I wish for all the things that could have been
The paper wings are feeling thin
There’s nothing left to save my dream
Folded up my worn clichés
Losing sleep over careful plans.
And again I’m blown astray
One more crash I don’t understand.
Into the storm (Cold with sweat, I’m holding on)
Rushing ahead (Losing track within the clouds)
It’s all the same (Can I ever make it out?)
Cheated again (This blank sheet won’t let me down)
I crashed and once again I’m at the start
Can’t ignore my bitter heart,
My resolve was not enough.
New chance to take this life apart and play it smart.
Embrace the emptiness
Sit back and glide along
Let go; find happiness
On the wind where my soul belongs
