Song Description

This is a song about the argument between a teen and his father, about wanting to follow your dreams versus doing what is practical

Lyrics

Penguin Said Slide

It?s been so long since I?ve felt this
If only I could remember how to act
My heart fails to pull me closer
As long as this umbilical chord is attached
And everything that?s inside me keeps telling me that this is where I belong
But what I keep hearing from you is that my senses are wrong
Just let me grow wings
All my dreams they intoxicate me
Spinning me above the trees
And all your reasons they keep me sober
Can?t I wish upon a four leaf clover
I?m tired of seeing this through your eyes
I guess I?m losing my head and thinking like a child
I?m not thinking realistically you said
I guess I?ll understand after awhile
But everything that?s inside me keeps telling me that this is where I belong
And every pound of passion in me knows that you can?t be more wrong
Just watch me fly away
My dreams intoxicate me
Spinning me above your disease
Aspirations are all I have and I won?t sink in your sinking sand
I?m seeing clear for the first time
And all my dreams they intoxicate me
Spinning me above what you preach
And all my thoughts are all I have
I will run away as fast as I can
Say goodbye Daddy before I fly
I won?t sit here and watch all I know disappear
My pride oh it?s my life
So you can just sit down there and watch
I?m way up up up and away
This is where I am and this is where I?ll stay
