Takeoff Songtext
von Jay Brannan

Sixteen candles, fifteen minutes
Fourteen years gone down the drain
I feel like I′m thirteen again
Twelve steps from peace, tethered to pain

Eleven nights I've cried
Ten thousand deaths I′ve died


I could be nine lives stronger
Writing eight seconds longer
We've got seven world wonders
And six musical chairs
It's five ′til four
And there are three left standing
It′s two against one
I'm gonna take off
The weather looks fair

Sixteen states in fifteen days
And fourteen songs on repeat play
I′m thirteen miles from Mexico
And twelve have all but slipped away

Eleven eagles fly
Ten thousand hills roll by


I could be nine lives stronger
Writing eight seconds longer
We've got seven world wonders
And six musical chairs
It′s five 'til four
And there are three left standing
It′s two against one
I'm gonna take off
The weather looks fair
