Chris Labella Flyaway (feat. Paige Taylor)
[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]
