Round Trip

Stepping away from home base Specs of me left behind as a trace Missing my crew before I even depart Hard to not feel a crack in my heart Wheels up as whisked into the sky Tears of joy welling up in my eyes As I remember the connection isn't lost Since we are linked together at any cost Airplane ascends as I slice off slivers of my heart Scattering them through the sky to do my part Their flight path doesn’t need a map Calmly cascading before landing in your lap The next step flips upside down my frown Love from home is lifted up from the ground Careening through the clouds without a sound Sealing up the shortage from what I sent down
