Sojourn

Sojourn

Sitting on the edge of an armchair
My seatbelt unfastened, shoe laces not tied
Letting the wind mess my hair
Make-up all smudged, waking up all blurry eyed

It's too early in the morning
For my words to come out right
Just getting used to sunshine
I'm still squinting in the light

And it looks like a perfect day just to get away
All the mundane has brought out the rebel I was born to be
And it feels like the perfect time just to break away
This is my life, it's desertion from the norm

I'm a non-conformist
I like doing stupid things
Like laughing on a train, ha
Or falling in love again

Television magazines
They tell how to live your life
But not how to use your brain

It's too early in the morning
For my words to come out right
Just getting used to sunshine
I'm still squinting in the light

And it looks like a perfect day just to get away
All the mundane has brought out the rebel I was born to be
And it feels like the perfect time just to break away
This is my life, it's desertion from the norm

I wanna do something I've never done
Dip my toe beneath the surface of
A sea that I've never seen the bottom of

I'm not perfect, don't have to be
Can walk around in just bare feet
I'm comfortable in my own skin
My confidence, it starts within

And it looks like a perfect day just to get away
All the mundane has brought out the rebel I was born to be
And it feels like the perfect time just to break away
This is my life, it's desertion from the norm

Desertion from the norm
