Head In The Clouds

Originally Written: September 15, 2022

Genre: Pop

A/N: I remember I was initially inspired to write this because of this one AJR song 'Come Hang Out' and I got to thinking a lot about my future. It's about getting caught up in 'making it' in the music world and kind of getting lost in your own daydreaming of making it, you forgot about your present day whereabouts.

 and also just using songwriting as as a way to escape reality and to numb the pain. using writing songs as a form of self-reflection of how far you've come, cause writing songs is like a personal diary. music seems to be understand you so well, so you get so lost in the lyrics and melodies. 

INTRO ( CHORUS ):

these days, i have my head in the clouds

it's getting hard to reach the ground

i can't seem to escape my whereabouts

oh, how i wish i were around

but i got my head in the clouds

i'm not coming down

i got my head in the clouds

1ST VERSE:

you must thinking

that my dreaming; it's crazy

i need to relocate these thoughts of mine

but how could i?

if afterwards, i'd still feel the spite

i haven't given up and i don't know why

i've put enough thought

in these thoughts of mine

PRE-CHORUS:

i think i know, but i don't

oh well, let's see where this trail goes

CHORUS:

these days, i have my head in the clouds

it's getting hard to reach the ground

i can't seem to escape my whereabouts

oh, how i wish i were around

but i got my head in the clouds

i'm not coming down

i got my head in the clouds

2ND VERSE:

we'll meet up later, i swear

and when i mean later

what i really mean is next year

and what i really need

is that music to my ears

no one's ever there

what if i disappear?

not that i ever would but

everyone i've loved is better off

they don't need me

and what i really need

is that music to my ears

( and maybe some coffee )

PRE-CHORUS:

i think i know, but i don't

oh well, let's see where this trail goes

CHORUS:

these days, i have my head in the clouds

it's getting hard to reach the ground

i can't seem to escape my whereabouts

oh, how i wish i were around

but i got my head in the clouds

i'm not coming down

i got my head in the clouds

BRIDGE:

i know, i know, it's time i "let this dream go"

focus on reality and not the lyrics in front of me

i'm missing everything, but you see, my best friend left me

and the only way to numb the pain is to write music everyday

write all about her, write about the best and the worst

and love that consists of the heartbreak that hurts

all those moments when i made it after all

OUTRO:

i never drowned in the waterfall

the waves might've left my system

but the sky is still blue, like what i feel inside

oh, what am i to do?

having my head in the clouds

is worth my while

i live to escape my issues
