Ready for Takeoff

lyrics

As I’m sitting around,
Thinking of how I could pass some time.
I’ll grab my board and I’m ready to go.
I’ll skate to whatever I can find.
As I come up to an edge,
I hope that maybe I won’t fall
Into the trap of another girl,
So should I take this call?
Because you know I will.

For her today, I threw my dignity away.
Tried to relate, I made countless little mistakes,
But still it seems that she could be the one for me.
Still I just don’t know, as I drive this familiar road.
Should I go left, or maybe right?
Leave her behind or in plain sight?
Or should I stand and take this call,
Leave it to fate and hope I won’t fall?

Oh, won’t you take me far away.
I can see it now, such a pretty place.
So don’t look back as we’re taking off.
As we’re counting down it’s three, two, one.

Take me to this reality.
I want to go, she wants to go,
To bed with me as I lay awake,
As I cash my bills, now I upped the stakes.

Oh, won’t you take me far away.
I can see it now, such a pretty place.
So don’t look back as we’re taking off.
As we’re counting down it’s three, two, one.
