lyrics

This is a song for all the day I spend on the floor staring up at the ceiling. I can't think of a better metaphor to describe my life. This is a song for all the birds that sing in the morning. This is a song for all the turtles that will never swim in the ocean. This is a song for you and for me.

I had a dream I was flying up above some desert somewhere. I didn't have wings but my arms were bigger than usual. I was flapping them quite violently actually to keep myself up in the air. All of a sudden my arms disappeared and I fell fast to the ground. I woke up just a second before I hit. That was the day that I quit smoking cigarettes. Couldn't tell you why it just felt right.

This is a song for everyone who hears it. This is a song for anytime you're singing and you forget the lyrics. This is a song that was born out of boredom. This is a song that will die as soon as I am done playing it tonight because this is a song I'll never sing again and if I do you be sure to call me a liar and when you do be sure you set my pants on fire. And I will burn here on the floor where I'm still staring at the ceiling like I do every day, every night.

You're telling me that something isn't right with this picture. Taylor Swift sang it best this is just another picture to burn. This is a song for all the Taylor Swift songs that I've ever sung at three in the morning looking out my bedroom window wishing that there was something more. This is a song. I'm singing it alone but if you were here with me would you sing along? Would you?
