Taking Off - A Tragedy in Progress

our young love was a story that simply told itself

we had the whole world right in front of us, we never second guessed

with open skies ahead, we left worry and care behind

never thinking for a moment that daylight

would fall to night

and the rain poured down

the sky turned black

you sang sweet songs to my face

and to another behind my back

i’m sure he promised the earth, two tickets anywhere you want, where ya wanna

go?

he put on quite a show

promises, promises first, the same ones we’d made

my suspicions begin to grow

fighting for fighting’s sake and the wings, they begin to shake

you’re hiding lies behind the engine smoke

oxygen, oxygen please, as we start to choke

as we start to choke

and the rain poured down

the sky turned black

you sang sweet songs to my face

and to another
