Off the Rails

I fly from cinci to LA

Chasing the sun across the sky

I tell my brain to shut off

But it’s soaring too high

Press my face to the window

Counting clouds against the blue

Chew up every moment

Take what I’m due

Life’s better when you think

It’s about to fly off the rails

Smash expectations with a brick

Crash through the supposed to bes

My biggest fear is

Dying without living

So cling onto the sides

And let yourself scream

I drive from dawn until dusk

Chasing the feel of the high

Press the pedal to the floor

Wonder what it’s like to fly

Free from the worries

The wind sweeps them away

Chew up every sentence

What I need to say
