Jet lag
Wings of Liberation: Escaping Heartbreak at 50,000 Feet
Lyrics
Here I am, waitin' on a corner
Expressing readiness, waiting on a street corner.
Prayin' for a greyhound blowin' my way
Hoping for a greyhound bus to arrive.
I got a fistful of dollars,
Having money and intending to find a cowboy.
Gonna find me a cowboy
Seeking a romantic connection.
Drink your memory down the drain
Choosing to forget and move on from a past relationship.
Ain't got nothin' but the clothes on my back In my possession Left it all behind that day
Left everything behind, only possessing the clothes on the back.
And I ain't turnin' back to the life that I left Kissin' and goodbye with no regrets
No regrets about leaving the past life behind.
You left me with a feelin' to heavy to describe But these wings I grew, gonna make me, make me fly
Feeling burdened but determined to fly with newfound wings.
Ain't gonna let this pain go, mess me round Gonna hit the road, make me some ground
Not allowing pain to control, deciding to travel and make progress.
I couldn't close my eyes, but God, I tried
Struggling to sleep due to emotional turmoil.
You were just a midnight red eye flight
Referring to the past relationship as a late-night flight.
And I don't need your jet lag
Rejecting the emotional impact, not needing the partner's 'jet lag.'
Well I never thought these wheels would ever touch down
Surprised that the emotional journey has come to an end.
Playin' horror movies 'round and 'round
Mentally replaying disturbing memories.
And the baggage that you left wasn't ever gonna fit So I pushed it out of 50,000 feet
The baggage from the past relationship is discarded high above.
You left me wounds and memory scars
Bearing emotional wounds and scars from the past.
Now these old boots are takin' me, takin' me Far
Walking away, letting old boots carry to a distant place.
Ain't gonna let this pain go mess me round Gonna hit the road, make me some ground
Reiterating determination not to be held back by pain.
I couldn't close my eyes, but God, I tried
Struggling to sleep due to emotional turmoil (repeated).
You were just a midnight red eye flight
Describing the past relationship as a late-night flight (repeated).
And I don't need your jet lag
Rejecting the emotional impact, not needing the partner's 'jet lag' (repeated).
No
Reaffirming the rejection of emotional baggage.
Secret kisses that I can't unsee
Reference to hidden intimate moments.
A list of names hidden under your seat
Discovering a list of names, potentially revealing infidelity.
Letters I sent not returned to me
Letters sent to the partner remain unanswered.
Once I was blind, but now I see
Gaining clarity and insight after being blinded to the truth.
Ain't gonna let this pain go mess me round Gonna hit the road, make me some ground
Reiterating determination not to be held back by pain (repeated).
I couldn't close my eyes, but God, I tried
Struggling to sleep due to emotional turmoil (repeated).
You were just a midnight red eye flight
Describing the past relationship as a late-night flight (repeated).
Ain't gonna let this pain go mess me round Gonna hit the road, make me some ground
Reiterating determination not to be held back by pain (repeated).
I couldn't close my eyes, but God, I tried
Struggling to sleep due to emotional turmoil (repeated).
You were just a midnight red eye flight
Describing the past relationship as a late-night flight (repeated).
I couldn't close my eyes, but God, I tried
Struggling to sleep due to emotional turmoil (repeated).
You were just a midnight red eye flight
Describing the past relationship as a late-night flight (repeated).
And I don't need your jet lag
Final rejection of emotional baggage, not needing 'jet lag.'
Just a midnight, just a midnight, just a midnight
Repeating the rejection of emotional baggage.
No, I don't need your jet lag
-Just a midnight, just a midnight, just a midnight red eye flight
