Permission to Pass
Jaye Bartell
[Verse 1]
I gave away my weight
I panicked I got lost in the antics
I placed a hand on your shoulder
And with the other hand, I waved
[Chorus]
Goodbye cruel clay
Goodbye
[Verse 2]
Back in our room in my mind
I struck a long match against the box
The long paper box that you gave me
With it's pictures of balloons on both sides
[Chorus]
Goodbye cruel clay
Goodbye
[Verse 3]
Today I put a cloud in a bag and I sent all grief to flight
All failure to flight, aging to flight, sleep to flight
And I no longer ask permission to pass overhead
While I’m flying
[Verse 3: Jaye Bartell, Larkin Farrar & Both]
I gave away (My), my weight
I panicked I got lost in the antics
And I no longer ask permission to pass overhead
And I'm never coming back
