The One-Line Lyric Challenge

Plane

For June and Pride month, we have one of my favorite artists

""The Boy's Gone" by Jason Mraz" 

in his prime. There aren't many musicians where I'll link the live version of a song instead of the album version. Jason is one of them. The things he can do with his voice, the pictures he can paint with his lyrics. So much musical talent and creativity in one person.

As a note, everything not in the lyrics below was free-styled for this performance.

Please sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and put your tables in the upright and locked position.

"Plane" by Jason Mraz



Lyrics: ▼

Drain the veins in my head
Clean out the reds in my eyes to get by security lines
Dear x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I won't tell if you lie
Cry, cause the droughts been brought up
Drinking' cause you're looking so good in your Starbucks cup
I complain for the company that I'm keeping
The window's made for sleeping, rearrange
And I'm nobody
Well who's laughing now

I'm leaving your town again
And I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, said baby hell yeah
Honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
You know I need you so much
I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport
And walk you through the maze of the map
That I'm gazing at
Gracefully unnamed and feeling guilty for the luck
And the look that you gave me
You make me somebody
Well nobody knows me
Not even me can see it yet, I bet I'm...

I'm leaving your town, again
I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, baby hell yeah
Well, honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

Flax seeds, well they tear me open
And supposedly you can crawl right through me
Taste these teeth please
And undress me from these sweaters, better hurry
Cause I'm heating upward bound now
Maybe I'll build my house on your cloud
Here I'm tumbling for you
Stumbling through the work that I have to do
Don't mean to harm you

By leaving your town, again
But I'm over the ground that you've been spinning
And I'm up in the air, said baby hell yeah
Well, honey I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, damn
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, damn

You keep me high
You keep me high minded

Prompt: "I won't tell if you lie"
