Taking Off

our young love was a story that simply told itself
we had the whole world right in front of us, we never second guessed
with open skies ahead, we left worry and care behind
never thinking for a moment that daylight
would fall to night
and the rain poured down
the sky turned black
you sang sweet songs to my face
and to another behind my back
i’m sure he promised the earth, two tickets anywhere you want, where ya wanna
go?
he put on quite a show
promises, promises first, the same ones we’d made
my suspicions begin to grow
fighting for fighting’s sake and the wings, they begin to shake
you’re hiding lies behind the engine smoke
oxygen, oxygen please, as we start to choke
as we start to choke
and the rain poured down
the sky turned black
you sang sweet songs to my face
and to another
