Lyrics
Stallin’
By Ted Horrell
I worked my life to get somewhere, my map was upside down
I see I’m what I tried to be, but not where
The sky looks painted on to me
Can someone please paint over me
Into a tree or one that looks like me, but isn’t
Now I’m stallin’, fallin’
I’m on my hands and knees I’m
Trying to fly but
I can’t get on my feet
Can someone please jumpstart me
I want to sleep but not to dream, ‘cause dreamin’ got me here
I want to wake up somewhere else, but not here
My movie ended and left me
All in the dark with empty seats
How come I’m stuck up on a screen with no direction
Now I’m stallin’, fallin’
I’m on my hands and knees I’m
Trying to fly but
I can’t get on my feet
Can someone please jumpstart me
