Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Sydney 2013 Lyrics

Shaking on the plane
Mercy in my headphones
I guess that I was scared
But I had a six month window
Liz was in the car
Waiting at the airport
I was unprepared
To say goodbye

Life got heavy
I got carried away
I was in the middle of a summer of pain
Didn't know the feeling but I wanted to stay in love

Matthew had the coke
Billy had the friends out
Britney had the sweet, sweet smile
That I could get my head 'round
Frankies in the night
Pizza by the deep black water
Bodies on the beach
Cooking like a peach
Eva in my head
Eva out of reach

Life got heavy
I got carried away
Ran out of the pills I was staying awake
Didn't know the feeling but I wanted to break the ties

Maybe in a way I pushed my feelings right down
Looking for an easy fix to black them all out
Maybe there was grace in all the ways I fell down
So I could be face to face with where I was found

Hey no worries couldn't do it again
One too many and I cannot pretend
Found me a lover when I needed to find a friend

When Liz is in the car
Smiling at the airport
She's says I've come far
Lots has happened
I guess it really shows
How slowly we surrender
I let God in, I let go
When I'm in Sydney I remember
