Mike Corrado: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I originally worked this song up for Falling Awake and wound up reworking it for this album. It's so much fun to play live. It's about that "thing" that may be holding you back from your dream. Maybe it's your job, maybe a bad relationship, in this case I used 'love" as a metaphor for that "thing."

I never was a real good liar
So I might as well tell you the truth
That I believe your love is an anchor
And it’s time to cut me loose
I woke up in last night’s clothes just like I did the day before
I pick myself up one bone at a time
Lord only knows how I got home & I find myself all alone
Lying on the floor when I was born to fly
I never was a real good liar
So I might as well tell you the truth
That I believe your love is an anchor
And it’s time to cut me loose
I want to sail in the deep blue water
I want to find heaven’s sky
I want to be at one with the angels
So cut me loose so I can fly
Shoot me down once, shoot me down twice
Take me down again ‘cause it sure feels nice
But I wont take no more this time
So get up, get up, get up, get up cut it loose
I’m 10 feet tall and I’m bulletproof
I just forget I am sometimes
I want to sail in the deep blue water
I want to find heaven’s sky
I want to be at one with the angels
So cut me loose so I can fly
