Walking 2 Hawaii

It's been a while since I let Tom McRae rock my world. Years, actually. And I'm not quite ready to go back there yet. He's too gloomy for me these days; a special, dark, dirty, hurtful kind of gloomy that isn't really a part of me anymore. But his music is absoltely beautiful and I love his voice, and I couldn't stop thinking about his lyrics today. I chose to include this lovely piece of work in today's entry. The guitar gives me these wonderful chills and his voice sends me through the roof - but gently, gently... It feels like falling asleep and waking up at the same time.

falling feels like flying
until you hit the ground
and everything is beautiful
'til you take a look around
so let it go

turn the bow into the wave, boys
I feel a storm coming in
but every bridge we build, we burn
and never learn to swim
no, we never learn to swim
so let it go

lead me to the edge and watch
see how far we both can drop
let it all just slip away
let it fade

we walk to Hawaii
a final sunset on the waves
the perfect girl, the perfect place
to watch the world go down in flames
wouldn't that be a shame?

lead me to the edge, don't stop
beauty always had a cost
and as the air slips through our lungs
we'll sing songs of love
