about

Written on a trash can at the football game, Garrett expanded this spontaneous song into a lovely work of art.

lyrics

I'm waiting
So long my heart is fading
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know that this ain't home
I'm trying
To move on through the "goodbye"-ing
Keep myself from crying
Like a fragile, drifting foam
I'm yearning
To break free from the lies that are hurting
My chance to fly above here
Into the sky up there
I'm being
More than you or I could see me
And nothing will break these feelings
Taking me away

I'm waiting
So long my heart is fading
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know that this ain't home
I'm screaming
"Let me out," I'm bleeding
Just raise your weapon high
As my heart pours out its life
It's my goodbye lullaby

I'm seeing
Farther than my heart is beating
And I know these thoughts are fleeting
Yet I've never been so alive
I'm feeling
A face which Sun is heating
Strange for sorrow of one leaving
No one can ever tell you why
I'm saying
It won't pain me misbehaving
Though it will 'cause I'm not staying
As tears fall from your eyes
I'm knowing
That there's this pain that we're not showing
Even though our faces glowing
They hide the heart inside

I'm waiting
So long my heart is fading
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know that this ain't home
I'm having
Second thoughts unraveling
It's too late 'cause I'm traveling
Away from here somehow
It's my goodbye lullaby now

My life here, without you dear, will be really sad
Free at last, I'll have a life I never had
Above the clouds, beyond the stars, please dear don't be mad
In the end, it's all ok, if only just a tad

I waited
Until my heart faded
Now I know where I'm going
And I'm going to make it home
(I'm going to make it home)
