Running After Skies So Wide

Verse

Just got told the news my mind up the pace

it started to feel like a race

Told my friends the news

while I stared at my new shoes

Verse

Left the dogs behind

didn't know one of them was gonna end up with a hog hind

Folded the cloths

ravelled up the hose

Multiple ideas were racing through my mind

because I knew I was gonna leave most of my things behind

Verse

Flying on the plane

made me feel like I was going insane

My mind was wired

and my body so tired

I was bone weary, dead tired I felt like a slop

ready to drop

Chorus

Left my roots in the dust, running after skies so wide,

Packed my dreams in a case, took that long-long plane ride.

From Jo’burg heat to Aussie breeze,

New life, new rules, different types of schools, actual seas that have a nice breeze

Verse

Touchdown, hit the ground hard I was surrounded sick by people hanging over me

no ways I could finally

see the sea

when it is close to me.

It looked like they used a Hoover

before we got in the uber

New apartment a prize

chicken hen size

Chorus

Left my roots in the dust, running after skies so wide,

Packed my dreams in a case, took that long-long plane ride.

From Jo’burg heat to Aussie breeze,

New life, new rules, different types of schools, actual seas that have a nice breeze

Verse

Now felt like I could reach

the beach

Sand in my toes

gotta wash them with the hose

Learnt a new rule

before I went to school

which I thought was cool

Ate a bar

in the new car my dad was not happy

so he went all moma slappy

Verse

I started to get flemmy

when we moved into the semi

Missed my dogs with fur as a soft as silk

and the colour of milk

Chorus

Left my roots in the dust, running after skies so wide,

Packed my dreams in a case, took that long-long plane ride.

From Jo’burg heat to Aussie breeze,

New life, new rules, different types of schools, actual seas that have a nice nice breeze
