lyrics

[Hook: Bodi]
And I’m, fly flyin away
And I, I don’t know what to say
And I’ll, be home someday
I hope you understand and stay
And I’m, fly flyin away
And I, I don’t know what to say
And I’ll, be home someday
I hope you understand my ways

[Verse 1: Bodi]
So I start to pack my bags and she's begging me to stay around
But, how you gonna keep a rocket on the ground?
Speed of sound I'm movin, leave this town superhuman
Dreaming snoozing, breathing losing, cruising like a missile movin'
Til I - reach the summit, and start to catch my breath
A part of me's depressed, I ain't on to the next
Steps to the door of the double wide, my troubled eyes
She catch, and says, "you only hit the road to run and hide
How you think I feel, bed half-freezing
Half the time you're here, then you're thinking of leaving
Coulda kept the kid, made you stay at home
But didn't have the means alone to raise her on my own
Just go - know I've always been beside you
You're the one that chose to leave me behind you
Death is what you chase, life is the race
Rocketman, hope you know it's lonely out in space…"

[Hook: Bodi]

[Verse 2: Fashawn]
Yeah, I tell her to stop her crying
It's like she's on another plane where I'm not the pilot
Must I remind you this is love it ain't rocket science
But it's just as complicated and hard to digest, reason why I'm stressed
Sitting here alone
All she wanna hear is I'm home, instead it's my iPhone
Even when we're together we're on different time zones
She keeps my mind spinning like a cyclone
While I'm gone she replied why don't I bring her along
Or put a ring on her arm, time to ring the alarm
When she think I'm out chasing skirts
I'm stressing out, gaining clout, trying to shake this Earth
Besides the fact I'll be gone til September
Taking off by December
She gon' need a nigga to keep her warm for the Winter
And me, I'll be packing my luggage for another day
Out of space baby, please don't give my love away

[Verse 3: Bodi]
Ok. Ok-k-k-k
Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
And this little boy grew to a man on the moon
Sooner than I know I'm back home from the road
Stole a part out my soul so it's easy come, harder go
Put the key inside the lock
But it's not really working, turn it counter to clock
Is this the right spot? Knock a couple times
Some dude opens up that I don’t recognize, “Hi"
"Who the fuck are you, what you doin in my house?"
He says, "You hit the road and your girl got a spouse."
Sock him in the mouth, barrel through the door
My new ex comes in, her boy on the floor
She says, "You couldn't do it and you knew it all along
When I needed you, you were ghost and gone"
I tell her, "never again" she whispers, "you're wrong
Do what you do and put your message in a song…"
