about

The song idea came to me while I was lying on the grass, chilling with my cats. Looking up at the sky, I felt at peace and in awe of the beautiful world around us. I thought about the impact humans have had on Earth and it’s dwellers, and that humans can have on each other. I wondered what life would be like if we could be whisked away from all the negativity, the constant judging, comparing and endless opinions. Even though we can’t physically be projected into the atmosphere, it’s important to have a place you can take your mind to that the opinions can’t reach.

lyrics

I can smell the day turning night
A couple stars starting to appear
The sun bathing everything in red light
I’m lying here, on the grass
My feet are pointing at the sky
My mind is wandering amongst the clouds
I want to go out there and fly, fly, fly
But I’m lying here, on the grass

Six, five, four, I’m gonna go on a tour
I’ll take a trip around Neptune, Pluto and more
I’ll make a sandcastle on Mars
Go chase some lonely stars
Three, two, one, I’m gonna go to the sun
Sour around Jupiter, have some fun
Then I’ll drift away in space
And no one will know my face
But I’m lying on the grass

I can taste the moon passing by (passing by)
The birds aren’t singing their songs up here (birds aren’t singing)
Stars surround me in the big black sky
Kind of wish that I was on the grass
It’s so quiet, I could drown (I could drown)
Let the silence seep right in (let it seep)
A gentle breeze tugs me back down
And I’m lying here, on the grass

Six, five, four, I’m gonna go on a tour
I’ll take a trip around Neptune, Pluto and more
I’ll make a sandcastle on Mars
Go chase some lonely stars
Three, two, one, I’m gonna go to the sun
Sour around Jupiter, have some fun
Then I’ll drift away in space
And no one will know my face

But I’m lying on the grass
I wanna fly away
Because too many people judge me
I’ll go where all the stars will be
And I’ll fly away
Right off the moon-washed grass
Because the stars will never judge me
And that’s where I’ll be happy

Six, five, four, I’m gonna go on a tour
I’ll take a trip around Neptune, Pluto and more
I’ll make a sandcastle on Mars
Go chase some lonely stars
Three, two, one, I’m gonna go to the sun
Sour around Jupiter, have some fun
Then I’ll drift away in space
And no one will know my face
But I’m lying on the grass
