I Take Flight Lyrics

I take flight

Just me and my bike

The stars lift me up in the dark

Like a dog in a spaceship I fly out of sight

You were right

Freedom tastes better at night

But the black in my head makes it harder

To feel like the dark isn't bright

Oh so bright

Sometimes

I feel

A weight

An aching in my thighs

And heels

Mistakes

That I think we're cries for help

When I felt ashamed

When I wasn't myself

I take flight

Just me and my bike

As the rain turns my hair to a drip

The music pours in like my head to a bong rip

You were right

Phoebe sounds better when it's late at night

When the heavy heart sticks

To another quick fix

That'll push you out of sight

Sometimes

I feel

A weight

An aching in my thighs

And heels

Mistakes

That I think we're cries for help

When I felt ashamed

When I wasn't myself

Could you stay the night

I ask you say

it's better if I go

Let's not dig another hole

By speeding up what should be slow

So I say goodbye

And you leave and I'm left alone with my sheets and my grief

The heaviness feels like a peach-less pit

I feel it go down

Like wine in my spit

Shit

Sometimes

I feel

A weight

An aching in my thighs

And heels

Mistakes

That I think we're cries for help

When I felt ashamed

When I wasn't myself
