West Essex

Writes about a home-connecting flight
On the worst day of his life
He went where he had to go
He saw it there from his window
Across rivers and state lines
Watching a view he didn't mind
There was a view he didn't see
A view he didn't know how
He watches the world turn around
Then he thinks that he's upside-down
A boy with his head in the clouds
And he's taking it all so well
Writes about the week-and-a-half-long drive
When he was glad to be alive
Where he always wanted to go
He saw it there from his window
Across rivers and state lines
Watching a view he didn't mind
There was a view he didn't see
A view he didn't know how
He watches the world turn around
Then he thinks that he's upside-down
A boy with his head in the clouds
And he's taking it all so well
