Boxed up
|
All of her favorite things
|
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
|
Big plans and leaving friends and
|
A westbound sign
|
Weighed out
|
Her choices on a scale
|
Prevailing nothing made sense
|
Just transportation and a
|
Blank decision...
|
|
She's taking off
|
Taking off...
|
Taking off...
|
Taking off...
|
|
No time and no copping out
|
She's burning daylight and petrol
|
Blacked out the rearview mirror
|
Heading westward on
|
Strung out
|
On confusion road
|
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
|
Xanex a beer for thought
|
And she determined...
|
|
She's taking off
|
Taking off...
|
Taking off...
|
Taking off...
|
|
Is it salvation?
|
Or an escape from discontent?
|
Will she find her name
|
In the California cement?
|
Punched out of the grind
|
That punched her one too many times...
|
Is tragedy 2000 miles away?
|
|
She's taking off
|
Taking off...
|
Taking off...
|
Taking off...
|
