about

It's late but I made it. Thanks for understanding, my power was just turned back on.

This song is a mix between Paul Simon, Dave Matthews Band and a little U2 thrown in for fun.

lyrics

So I could come home
Had to leave
So could leave
Had to come home

Have to be
Together to see
What it means
To be alone

There’s no peak
Without a valley
Need to know low
If you want to know high

There’s nothing like
The feeling of coming home
But you can’t return without leaving for a while

The longer I stay
The stronger it grows
I’ve got my roots
But I also have wings

I live two lives
At the same time
We are strange
Animals indeed

But what makes come back
What makes me leave
The feeling fades and I look to the horizon
It’s the time in between where it grows
I feel the pull without realizing

If you want to know high
you need to know low

I see families
when I’m gone
Makes me want
to return

I see roads
and railroad tracks
That’s what Makes me want to depart
when I’m back

Catch me when I’m
coming down
Sometimes I know
I fly too high

It took me this long
Just to figure out
The push and pull is
Part of life

But what makes come back
What makes me leave
The feeling fades and I look to the horizon
It’s the time in between where it grows
I feel the pull without realizing

If you want to know high
you need to know low
