c'mon ..

take me away from this place already.
it's not hard - all you have to do is talk this through with me.
i want to be here, i do.
there's no doubt there's time for great things here.
but i can't keep going on like this.
so just take me away for a few nights. can't you do that?
can't you just lift me up on your wings for awhile?
i'm tired of trying to fly on my own - i'm broken.
you know it, i know it.
so why can't you just take me away?
i just need to be jolted up again.
give me a little motivation, a little inspiration.
just a little - let's do like a 70/30 kind of an arrangement.
i just want that little bit.
so talk me through this life, these days.
because right now i can't say that i'm sure i can do it alone.
in fact i know i can't do it alone because it's 2:50 in the morning.
and i can't sleep.
i'm exhausted.
i am.
i really, really, really am just so tired.
but i can't close my eyes - i have too many thoughts running around in my head all the time.
so let's make a deal, alright? if you promise that if i go to sleep, i'll talk to you tomorrow -
and that you'll take me away for awhile?
that isn't hard. i'm light and i won't bother you.
so c'mon ..
just for a little while, alright?
just for a few days and a few nights.
take me away - show
me your world, your happiness, your smiles.
let me suck on those for awhile until my nourishment is filled again.
because right now it's like i'm running on empty
and i know i'm running on empty
and i just keep on running
because i can't face what's out there for me to answer
so just take me away,
just call and just come
and just take me away on your shoulders
show me what it's like to be walking around without your feet and your nose in the same spot on the ground - show me what's it's like to feel the wind in your hair and the rain on your face.
because right now all i'm getting .. is nothing.
so c'mon.
just do it.
just come.
and just take me away.
i really just want to leave for a little while.
you can do that, right?
just promise me that.
i'll go to sleep if you do.
i'll try on my own a little longer if you do.
i'll be alright if you do.
just take me away and let me see things differently, freshly.
just show me all the things that you work for, that you live for, that you are for.
just take me away.
c'mon ...
you can do it.
... c'mon.
