Listen...and Repeat!

My sister introduced me to Nickel Creek back when I made fun of her for liking mellow one-guy-playing-a-guitar-and-singing-softly type music. But, I am slowly starting to LOVE it.

I'm kind of crazy about When You Come Back Down. It's been on repeat in my car for days. To me, it's a song about the perfect relationship--one where each person can chase his/her dreams and the other is patiently supportive...whether the dream turns out successfully or not. Rather than being annoyingly dependent, he/she is excited for the other to take risks and live out his/her dream. That's cool. Plus, it's some good music!

When You Come Back Down
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly
And if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down

Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
