A Perfect Afternoon

(Rob Christensen)
I’m gone. I’m flying from the sunset.
I’m lost. I haven’t made it out yet.
My headphones are singing me a flashback.
They’re telling. Telling me that I can never go back.

It’s a long way here from California.
It’s been a long time trying, trying to bring it back home.
It’s a hard life trying to get to heaven.
And we’ve got to break out hard to keep from being locked in.

I’m searching for a perfect afternoon.
I’ve got to find a perfect afternoon.

I’m running down.
I want to go someplace where I won’t be found.

Silence seems uncertain.
I’m listening to the dark, lying still and hurting.
My eyes pass the shadows on the ceiling.
I’m lying next to someone who won’t respect my feelings.

I’m searching for a perfect afternoon.
And I’m running low, I’ve got to get there soon.
Yeah, I’m searching for a perfect afternoon.
And I’ll lose myself if I don’t get there soon.
