Flights of Heart

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
We watched the planes ascend,
high above our little town,
From my window you’d point out,
the world we roamed around.
You’d catch the hum of engines,
on quiet afternoons,
A whisper through the skyline,
a connection broken too soon.

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s 48 kilometers,
from here to where you soar,
The ground shrinks to a dot,
yet my heart hears so much more.

[Chorus]
So fly away, my roommate,
to the cities you’re bound to grace,
I’ll hold on to the echoes,
of our shared and sacred space.
Though you chase your new beginnings,
and I stay behind to face,
The silent reminiscing,
and a home now laced with space.

[Verse 2]
You lift your bags, heavy with dreams,
onto the bus as it waits,
I whisper goodbye, but not too loud,
as fate now navigates.
I turn my back, I dare not watch,
the tracing of your flight,
You’re headed for horizons new,
and I’m wrapped in silent night.

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s 48 kilometers,
from here to where you soar,
The ground shrinks to a dot,
yet my heart hears so much more.

[Chorus]
So fly away, my roommate,
to the cities you’re bound to grace,
I’ll hold on to the echoes,
of our shared and sacred space.
Though you chase your new beginnings,
and I stay behind to face,
The silent reminiscing,
and a home now laced with space.

[Chorus]
So fly away, my roommate,
to the cities you’re bound to grace,
I’ll hold on to the echoes,
of our shared and sacred space.
Though you chase your new beginnings,
and I stay behind to face,
The silent reminiscing,
and a home now laced with space.
