[Verse 1]
Shaking on the plane
Mercy in my headphones
I guess that I was scared
But I had a six-month window
Liz was in the car
Waiting at the airport
I was unprepared
To say goodbye
[Chorus]
Life got heavy, I got carried away
I was in the middle of a summer of pain
Didn't know the feeling
But I wanted to stay in love
[Verse 2]
Matthew had the coke
Billy had the friends out
Britney had the sweet, sweet smile
That I could get my head 'round

Pizza by the deep black water
Bodies on the beach
Cooking like a peach
Either in my head
Either out of reach

Life got heavy, I got carried away
Ran out of the pills, I was staying awake
Didn't know the feeling
But I wanted to break the ties
[Bridge]
Maybe in a way I push my feelings right down
Looking for an easy fix to black them all out
Maybe there was grace in all the ways I fell down
So I could be face to face with where I was found
[Chorus]
Hey, no worries, couldn't do it again
One too many and I cannot pretend
Found me a lover when I needed to find a friend
[Outro]
When Liz is in the car
Smiling at the airport
She says I've come far
Lots has happened
I guess it really shows
How slowly we surrender
I let God and I let go
When I'm in Sydney I remember

This song is kind of an introspective diary journey I guess, an observation on what it was like, what happened, and what it’s like now… At the end of 2013, I had lost my Dad and just broken up with my partner who I love, I was in a really sick way and I went out to Australia to visit my cousins and...
