Losing sight of your dreams when the realities of the world are keeping you grounded.
lyrics
Call me out ...
How big of a hypocrite am I?
I cursed, the day,
Complacency, would get the best of me,
Had a ceiling so high, no cage could hold,
A limitless accent that spiraled out of control,
And I ... pretend to be fine ...
Tried to learn how to fly,
But there are forces at work impossible to defy,
The higher the climb, the further the fall,
Gravity proves too strong,
Its pulling us back to the ground ...
Call me out ...
How long have excuses run my life,
Was made to believe,
Mediocrity, would never define me,
Trying to crawl back risks greater defeat,
But accepting the facts wastes every single little gain,
And I ... pretend to be fine ...
Tried to learn how to fly,
But there are forces at work impossible to defy,
The higher the climb, the further the fall,
Gravity proves too strong,
Its pulling us back to the ground ...
I wish my memory erased,
Would rather forget than fixate,
That it’s too late I’m old and I’m gray,
I regret I quit reaching for you ...
Tried to learn how to fly,
But there are forces at work impossible to defy,
The higher the climb, the further the fall,
Gravity proves too strong,
Its pulling us back to the ground ...
Maybe, you say, maybe Todd Sarvies isn't any different from other singer-songwriters. Maybe the drive of a music career-
earning a living doing what he loves-is, you think, just like everyone else's. Maybe his talent-obvious at first listen-is just that: talent, not yet fulfilled.
But then-there's someone onstage and he's commanding your attention
