Fly Away
Paperboys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm like anywhere but here
Feel like all these years has been spent in the wrong hemisphere
But I hold memories near so I can picture
Palm trees, calm seas, letting the breeze hit you
Its almost like jesus was with you so peaceful
Big red feeding my scriptures
No people, see no evil, nonoisy violence
Smiling while watching water
As I hear the waves break man I'm straight
Just what the doctor ordered
I'm feeling safe and warm a replacement away from harm
Its like I taste gods grace and charm
I'm trying to get out I'm trying to fly away
I'm tired / so tired / I'm tired baby I need to fly away
I'm trying to get out I'm trying to fly away I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired baby I need to fly away
Run away and don't look back -no past- no worries
Heading for the future
But where is kind of blurry right now
But ima do what I got to do
s**t I hope to find me some peace someday
I lay awake trying to find me some sun rays
But hey it's grey and it stays that way
So aint s**t for me to do but getting haze to blaze
Its like I'm fit to be the fool
But I maintain stick to the rules
Just looking for some knowledge a house with a pool something solid
I'm tired of being an alcoholic
Tired of all this, tired of coping my disorders
I'm cutting corners even tough I'm sure
This is all I my mind guess I'm the norm
Scared of falling behind
But what the f**k is this we follow so blind
Yo god I need to borrow some time I'm real tired

@sopelimen111 Well, as a matter of fact I've never heard much of them 'til now. And since you recommended them I took a look at some songs I could find. Personally I don't set them higher than Paperboys on my list, though they do beat most of the other guys I've listened to from our country (if not all of them). This also means I can't agree with you with the statement that they're the core of Norwegian Hip Hop, hope you won't take this too personal. After all; it's just an opinion. x)
@sopelimen111
@sopelimen111 anyway paperboys are really good :)
@Carta2704
