Worth the Flight (Acoustic)

(It was time to take back the pen)

(And so I booked the damn flight)

It's been a long year of trying to please you

I'm coming down

but I know I shouldn't need you Arguing with the cells in my stream

Saying he's gone

Halt the dopamine

'Cause it was one look and you weren't just a stranger

I should've run but I didn't know the danger

But if I'd known maybe I'd take the chance

Dye my hair, change my number, and move to France

And how could you not see the plot I'd so carefully

Laid out in my head and made space in my bed

When I should have chosen myself instead

It was a short wait let the summer heat fade

Let the healing seep into my veins

And by the time autumn comes maybe we will be okay

But it was false hope waiting for a green light

For you to call and say you'd booked a flight

To bridge the distance

That's been between us

Cause I can't count the miles

And how could you not try

And we wait our whole lives for the chance to be us

Fated lovers at dusk

But as the sun sets

It hasn't happened yet

And France might be nice for a couple of months

Just 'til I learn to forget you

I've gotta leave the energy of you not choosing me

Saying she was easy

I've gotta take back the pen and make amends with the ways I betrayed my past self

And tell her she was worth the flight

Crying myself to sleep that night

Cause I am worth the flight

And so I hopped on a plane

Yeah I left last night

It was time to take back the pen

And so I booked the damn flight

Now I spend dusk by the Seine

And my heart begins again

Cause now I know if it was fate

You'd never just let me fly away

So as the sun sets the best days of my life haven't happened yet
