I wrote this song while single and not many people have seen it

Landing gear- By HighSchool Lows.
one of the first
One of the best


Here is the place, And this is the moment
Your word is dead and we're gathered to mourn it.
Follow me, into your heart.
Follow me back to start.


we'll climb up a mountain and jump off a plane,
forget to pack a parachute and aim for the train.
Yeah we, were quick to learn to fly but we never learned to land.
and I was quick to say I loved you, but I never held your hand

and I, cry your name.
And you Live in vain.
and they, smile and go on as though they wrote their own songs.
and we keep on singing ours.
and I play my fake guitar.


I.
Know you never dreamed about me the way I spoke of you.
and screamed until you cried and spat upon your shoe.
And now as I'm dragged away, there's only one thing I can say.
and that's, "baby, don't you leave me. I won't let you, out of my arms.
Baby, just say me. When your asked who stole your heart."

But.
They'll never teach you that
Love's blinder than a bat.
And uglier than an unborn embryo.

we'll climb up a mountain and jump off a plane,
forget to pack a parachute and aim for the train.
Yeah we, were quick to learn to fly but we never learned to land.
and I was quick to say I loved you, but I never held your hand.

and you're the kibosh on my master plan.
and I'm the sidewalk on which you wish to stand.
and they keep saying that we don't understand.
but we play our games in the sand.
and I say when you take my hand:

"I know I never said this but you're the world to me,
And though I never meant it I said you're not for me.
But now and only now as they're dragging me away.
There's something that I've always wanted to hear you say and that's,
'baby, don't you leave me. I won't let you, out of my arms.
Baby, just say me. When your asked who stole your heart.'
But.
They'll never teach you that
Love's blinder than a bat."


we'll climb up a mountain and jump off a plane,
forget to pack a parachute and scream like we were trained
Yeah we, were really bad at landing but we never really tried
and I was quick to say I loved you, but I never said I lied.









the best feeling in the world is when someone you don't know tells you that something you've written is beautiful.
