Baby Steps
If I could only fly
I would set my sights right onto you
I would leave tonight
Float right out the window of this room
If I could drive I would
I'd drive across the ocean to you
There would be no one
No one who could stop me if I could
See last night I heard Evan
He was singing in my kitchen
This Blaze Foley song
To Sammy's grandma through the phone
I was leaning against the counter
As he sang into the camera
"If I could only fly
I would bid this place goodbye"
I was struck right on my feet
What a journey this has been
Since flying out to JFK
to start this big adventure in the states
I remember eating pretzels
And staring out the plane
To a world I'd only seen
In films and magazines
Tony Hawk and California
Vanna White and the Wheel of Fortune
And Elvis in his tassels drinking 7up at the piano
I was stolen by it all
I was captured by the dream
Of the greatest infomercial
the world has ever seen
But I found you here
I found love and I found a family
For 7 years we never walked alone
I felt the love of all of you around me
Well its baby steps
It's a standing start but you gotta go
When Evan was in that kitchen
I felt the tiny power of a song
Fill and hold the air
These things we tell ourselves
This life is such a mystery
Were here and then were gone
But through the harshness of it all
Somehow the mystery carries on
I still believe in magic
I still believe in dreams
Still believe in the eternal
Calculations of the world
But its baby steps
Its a pregnant pause but we'll start again
All past preparations thrown into the wash
Keep family around you
Be good to the ones you love
There light is not a given
And it's such a shame its not
Surround yourself with people
Who laugh and pick you up
Who care and hold you close
Who love to play Blaze Foley songs
If I could only fly
I would set my sights right onto you
I would leave tonight
Float right out the window of this room
If I could drive I would
I'd drive across the ocean to you
There would be no one
No one who could stop me if I could
See last night I heard Evan
He was singing in my kitchen
This Blaze Foley song
To Sammy's grandma through the phone
I was leaning against the counter
As he sang into the camera
"If I could only fly
