Fly Away
Fly Away: Longing and Reunion in Lutricia McNeal's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
When you're not here
Expressing the absence of someone
Why is that I feel you?
Questioning the emotional connection despite physical absence
This empty room
Describing a room without the person, emphasizing emptiness
Memories always
Recollection of memories that persist
Lingering through
Highlighting the enduring nature of memories
I know you're without me
Acknowledging the separation, questioning the other's state
But are you alone?
Wondering if the person is truly alone in the absence
Light up a candle
Suggesting a ritual to connect spiritually (lighting a candle)
And turn off the phone
Encouraging isolation by disconnecting from external communication
I've been without you
Expressing a prolonged period of separation
For so long
Anticipating a return or reunion
But now I'm coming home
Declaring the imminent homecoming
If I could fly away from here
Desire to escape the current situation and find a way back
The I would find my way
Expressing determination to reconnect despite challenges
To get back to you
Desiring to return to the person
If I could fly away from here
Reiterating the wish to escape the current circumstances
I would make it right tonight
Expressing a commitment to make things right upon return
If only you were here
Longing for the presence of the person
Since you've been gone
Reflecting on the time since the person's departure
I've been running
Indicating constant movement and activity in the absence
Around on my own
Emphasizing independence and self-reliance
There's no way to know
Expressing uncertainty about the other person's actions
If you're doing me right
Questioning the faithfulness of the absent person
Or if your doing me wrong
Uncertainty about the other person's intentions
I know you're without me
Repeating the acknowledgment of separation
But are you alone?
Reiterating the question of the other's solitude
Light up a candle
Suggesting a spiritual connection through a ritual
And turn off the phone
Emphasizing the need for isolation
I've been without you
Reiterating the prolonged period of separation
For so long
Expressing the end of the separation and the return
But now I'm coming home
Affirming the imminent homecoming
If I could fly away from here
Repeating the desire to escape and return
The I would find my way
Reiterating determination to find a way back
To get back to you
Expressing the desire to return to the person
If I could fly away from here
Repeating the wish to escape the current circumstances
I would make it right tonight
Reaffirming the commitment to make things right upon return
If only you were here
Expressing the longing for the presence of the person
