Met a girl,
she's travelin round the world
leavin pieces behind
She said she'd wait for me
But I can't make her see
that she's called to other skies
I can't be her place to hide
(It's coming up, it's coming up again)
Well it'd be wrong to make her stay
(And what you are doin in my head?
Why did you come in when you did?)

So go back, and take on the world
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"

Maybe in another time
we could've been fine

Spread your wings and fly
And look to the sky
(It's coming up, it's coming up again)
And don't forget to write me
And don't forget the things you see
(And what you are doin in my head?
And why did you come in when you did?)

So go back, and take on the world
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"

So follow all your dreams
Whatever, whatever they may be
So follow all your dreams
Whatever, whatever they may be

Go on!!!

So go back, and take on the world
(It really kills her, it really kills her)
Cause when I've had to cross the sky
Take my words and say "goodnight"
And never say "goodbye"

Spread your wings and fly
And look to the sky
Spread your wings and fly
Spread your wings and fly

    General Comment:This song was on the Taking Back Sunday EP...first stuff TBS recorded. The lineup for this song was Antonio Longo on vocals, John Nolan and Eddie Reyes on lead and rhythm guitar, Jesse Lacey on bass and background vox, and Steven Dejoseph on drums. Adam Lazzara is not featured at all in this song. Adam replaced Jesse, so they couldn't have both been in the band at the same time. Halfway thru recording this ep Jesse and Steven were replaced by Adam and Mark O'Connell, respectively. For the next demo and the first album, Tell All Your Friends, Adam replaced Antonio on vocals, and Shaun Cooper was recruited to play bass. When John and Mark left the band they were replaced by Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano, both of whom played on Where You Want To Be and Louder Now. Fred left and Matt Fazzi became the guitarist on New Again. Now both Matts (Fazzi and Rubano) are no longer TBS and John Nolan and Shaun Cooper are once again back in the band.

    General Comment:this is actually my favourite tbs song. i think it's quite self-explanatory; he's leaving the girl he loves to follow his dreams and wants her to follow hers too.
