"Landed" as written by and Benjamin Scott Folds....
We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about
We moved to the west coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love
'Til I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up, I've landed
The daily dramas she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
'Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way
I guess I was
But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading the sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried
If you wrote me off I'd understand it
'Cause I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed
And you will be so
Happy to know
I've come alone
It's over
But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's okay to call
Now I'll answer for myself
Come pick me up
Come pick me up
I've landed
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about
We moved to the west coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love
'Til I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up, I've landed
The daily dramas she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
'Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way
I guess I was
But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading the sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried
If you wrote me off I'd understand it
'Cause I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed
And you will be so
Happy to know
I've come alone
It's over
But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's okay to call
Now I'll answer for myself
Come pick me up
Come pick me up
I've landed

"It's about a close friend of mine who's recovering from being under the influence of a crazy girlfriend," says Folds. "I had this mental image of him flying back to reality, landing at the airport and needing a ride back to the life he left behind."

To me, this is an awesome song, and it really gives hope that even under the influence of some crazy-ass ho you still have hope for lucidity. Hope I never get myself in that situation. Can't wait for the new album myself either. :)
Are you serious about the Australian shows being over 18? DAMN! I would've killed to go to the show.
Oh well, this song is just further proof against my fears that when Ben Folds left his band, he'd turn into a lame over done solo artist. Thanks for proving me wrong Ben, your music is the sweetest defeat.
Peace

What a great song...
