BURN MY TICKET

(Written By Paul Otten)

 

I VENTURED OUT TO THE PLACE THAT YOU CALL HOME

THE AIR SMELLED SWEET AND THE CLEAR BLUE SKIES BREATHED CALMED

THE GROUND FELT AT EASE UNDER MY FEET

MORE THAN IT HAS IN SO LONG

AND THE STREETS ALL HAVE NEW NAMES

AND THE PATHS AREN’T WORN

 

CHORUS

ALL OF YOUR SWEET SUNSHINE

FILLING MY SOUL WITH LIFE

I WANNA CUT MY TIES, TRY YOU ON FOR SIZE

I WANNA SET EACH SUN WITH YOU

AND BURN MY TICKET HOME

 

THE LIFE I’VE LED ‘TIL NOW WAS BLACK AND WHITE

THE PAGES TURNED BUT THE PLOT WAS DULL AND TRITE

SO I BOOKED A ROUND TRIP AND POINTED MY SHIP

AND LANDED AT YOUR DOOR

WHERE THE STEPS WEREN’T CRACKED

AND THE SKIN I’M IN FELT RIGHT

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE:

I WANNA LEARN YOU

I WANNA LIVE YOU

I WANNA MAKE YOUR WORLD MINE

 

CHORUS

 

WAKING UP THESE DAYS FEELS LIKE THE TRUTH

THE SHEETS NO LONGER WREAK OF SOLITUDE

I’M LEAPING THE FENCE 

THE CONSEQUENCES LOST AND GONE

SO I’M HOLDING YOU TIGHT AND BURNING MY TICKET HOME
