Landed Lyrics

We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about

We moved to the west coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love

'Til I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up, I've landed

The daily dramas she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
'Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way
I guess I was

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading the sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried

If you wrote me off I'd understand it
'Cause I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed

And you will be so
Happy to know
I've come alone
It's over

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's okay to call
Now I'll answer for myself

Come pick me up
Come pick me up

I've landed
