Flying

Letter Seventeen

I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing it. Then Megan came along and made everything better.

Seems like I’ve known you for a thousand years
Can’t think of a memory without you
I never want to say that you have gone away from me
It’s like I’ve known you for a thousand years

Stand beside me
We can take on all the world wants to throw at us
Side by side we’ll
Stare down the trouble and chase all the madness

Away we’re flying
Higher and higher we rise through the atmosphere
Far above it all
We find that we’re the only ones who are still here

We can be together for all time
Making our new memories every day
Know that it’s serious only the two of us standing here
It’s like I’ve known you for a thousand years

Stand beside me
We can take on all the world wants to throw at us
Side by side we’ll
Stare down the trouble and chase all the madness

Away we’re flying
Higher and higher we rise through the atmosphere
Far above it all
We find that we’re the only ones who are still here
