[Verse 1]
What a predictable moment
The songbird leaves the nest
With a dream and a heavy chest
Writing winded words to the clouds out west
Is it for the best
Who knows if it was the right thing
Maybe I’m crazy in advance
Leaving my love in the arms of chance
Keep in mind I will never be anyone else’s trusted or lusted hand

[Chorus]
And as I fly away into the light of the sun
This isn’t the end my darling, little star
We’ve only begun
When LA chews me up and spits me back out into the sky
I know I’ll land next to you, in Carolina

[Verse 2]
Dear Jesus, I know that I have been a stranger as of late
But I come know in seek of your grace
‘Cause it’s times like these
That I need to believe in your name
Won’t you keep her protected
Keep her well inside the lines
And warm in troubled times
And if she meets someone new
May he be the best man you've ever designed
[Chorus]
And as I fly away into the light of the sun
This isn’t the end my darling, little star, we’ve only begun
When LA chews me up and spits me back out into the sky
I know I’ll land next to you, in Carolina

[Outro]
And as I fly away into the light of the sun
This isn’t the end my darling, little star, we’ve only begun
When LA chews me up and spits me back out into the sky
I know I’ll land next to you, in Carolina
I know I’ll land next to you, in Carolina
