Songtexte Flyin' Overhead - Tall Heights

Flying overhead
Jet stream of old regret
White smoke of a could-have-been
In the charcoal light
What echoes in my warring mind
Are the sorrows for what I did
Said it's fine, Paul, it really is

And it's hanging on my chest
Like a truth I can't confide
Covered up just like all the rest
My old dreams, they get lost inside
But they're underneath my feet
In the carpet of my old room
Told 'em build 'em high
And it crumbles on New Year's Eve

It ain't easy to decide
In the line before the ride
Was it you who always said
"Wave goodbye to the old regret?"
Say goodnight, now, that's all you get
Wave goodbye to the old regret

A new year comes, another fades away
Forgive me, love, for giving it away
A new year comes, and love, what can I say?
Forgive me, love

Flying overhead
Old resentments long since dead
Still they hover above my bed
Underneath our feet
Is the person I thought I'd be
We'll leave it in a lie
Let it crumble on New Year's Eve

It ain't easy to decide
In the line before your life
Was it you who always said
"Wave goodbye to the old regret?"
Say goodnight, now, that's all you get
Wave goodbye to the old regret

A new year comes, another fades away
Forgive me love for giving it away
A new year comes, and love, what can I say?
Forgive me, love

Flying overhead
Just dreaming what comes next
Wave goodbye to the old regret
Say goodnight, now, that's all you get
Wave goodbye to the old regret
