FINALLY GETTING REAL
Here's a new song.
FINALLY GETTING REAL
copyright john common
staring out the window
this was not the plan
lonely and charming
call me loverman
high enough to fall now
tough way to learn
I wish you would call now
so I could return
I can feel it start to slide
Down to the bottom
Down to the river
Where we met that night
Down to the bottom
Down to the river
Finally getting real
Lonely from the top
Lonely to the bottom
I searched for my devils
And oh man I caught them
Oh no here they come again
Self inflicted suffering’
Worn out from wandering
Following this broken plan, this broken plan, this broken plan
CH
I'm ready and willing
Nothing to conceal
Sitting beside you
Hand on the wheal
Empty and aching
A final appeal
Finally breaking
Finally real
CH
Finally getting real
Finally getting real
Finally getting real
