Array ( [sid] => 42799 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Price for Trying to Fly [time] => 2004-04-11 20:02:01 [hometext] => A song about trying to get close to a good friend with no success. [bodytext] => I used to love
Watching you put on your make up
You were so, beautiful
I could die

I just wanted to be
Everything you’d ever need, to be happy
But maybe that’d be, too easy

It’s another night with my head on the bar
Another night sleeping in my car
Dreaming of you and screaming for you

The scars on my body keep me from living
The walls between us keep me from giving
All I have and all I had for you

And you say it’s as good as it gets
Please step away things will be different
As I turn to look in your eyes, I realize
There’s a price for trying to fly

It’s another night with my head on the bar
Another night sleeping in my car
Dreaming of you and screaming for you

The scars on my body keep me from living
The walls between us keep me from giving
All I have and all I had for you

Whisper through the window tell me it’s ok
Touch the small of my back, take the pain away
Say you’ll be there when I need you the most
Close your eyes and come in close
To me
My sweet
My star
Wherever you are [comments] => 5 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 34 [informant] => paper-heart-hero [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Very moving, yet saddening...

I know exactly how you feel... *remembers better days* -sigh-

Well, I enjoyed this write alot, and whatever you may write, I'm sure it will be excellent. I hummed this tune to myself, even... a sure hit!

...all the girls in every girly magazine can't make me feel any less alone...

I just happened upon your name the other day and I am angry I have been missing these words up until now. This is absolutely gorgeous. I know the feelings you describe all to well, and it's pure torture. Best thing I've read in forever. I'm glad your among the YPDC elite.

Good write.
