Radio Tower (The Soul of Aaliyah)

*Radio Static*

[Intro: Aaliyah]
Come back to me, can you feel me, hear me calling for you
Come back to me, can you feel me, hear me calling for you

[Hook]
Where are you now, where are you now, where are you now, where you at right
Now when I need you most, when I need you most
Where are you now, where are you now, where are you now, can you hear me calling out when I need you most
I just wanna reel you back
I just want the real you back baby

[Verse 1]
You always spoke about the last time, the last time you fell
And hit the ground so hard that you cracked the steel
You seen your world crash down as it all dispelled
You broke nearly every bone in your body as well
But that was last time, the last time you fell
It left you terrified of heights and high stakes as well
Well I offered you a first class flight like we'll
Make sure the last time was the last time for real
But I could feel your energy I saw the fear in your face
Afraid when you looked out the window as we're picking up pace
We hit a bit of turbulence you said we should hit the brakes
But I ignored you and instead I chose for us to accelerate
I don't think I'm selfish but I was selfish for that
You tried to tell me you were scared but I just told you relax
But you ain't have to go and put a C4 in the engine of the G4 for me to fall right into a trap
We was heading down and we was heading down fast
I was trying everything to steer us back on track
But you didn't wanna hear it so you took the only parachute and strapped it to your back while you was hopping out the back
Now I'm staring death in the face trying to counteract
Thinking that maybe I could make it through an imminent crash
With my soul and my body in tact, that's all that I have
But then I hit the ground without a chance to brace for impact

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
I seen us plummet to the ground and violently spiral
We crash landed on an island in separate locations now they watch as I do whatever it takes just to find you
So I built a radio tower as high as the Eiffel
Ain't it an eyeful
I fell for you when you came to me broken and I fooled
Myself into thinking that maybe my spinal
Could hold up the weight of the world on my shoulders
I overestimate what I'm in control of
But you never once had to burn me and put all my insecurities on the forefront
I don't think you're selfish but I think you're selfish for that
You left a knife in my back
You fucking panicked then vanished then you left me stranded I can't recover from the crash
I need you back, I'll do whatever it takes
I put my pride up at stake
As I'm standing on top of this radio tower to sing you these songs as I try to communicate
Let my extensive efforts just convey the message that you meant the world to someone you pushed away
And the soul of Aaliyah remind you that we never had to hit the ground and go up in flames

[Hook]
