Gravity has kept me down too long.
I try to get my feet off the ground
but it's the strangest thing
I can't cut the strings
I'm tied down to the man I'm supposed to be.
My life never looked so good
than when I fly higher than I should.
But in the sky to my mind
it's getting harder to find any shred of truth
forget the lies from the world of what I can't do.
I need a little time to get my life in order.
Find me some peace of mind
and move across the border.
I fall down on my knees and pray that I'm free.
I never cry anymore because I'm lost in dreams.
I fear the end of the world has caught me while I sleep.

Travis helped write the guitar solo. He probably should have been the one to record it, too.
