Let's

Let's
Let's celebrate, and die a little
Excess never seemed so completely inviting
I never did regret, after all, how I spent my time when I was
young,
Because then I had all the time in the world, and no idea of age
I left all the hang-ups behind in writing,
Scribbled letters on a page, in the years spent
Halfway between Heaven and Hell
A roller coaster ride, an anti-show-and-tell
No-one knows what it's like inside my head.
Why start now to question how wrong, how right it felt last
night?
Let's live a little, we'll be fine.
Jennifer wants to learn to fly,
Take a deep breath, jump off the sky
No safety net, I would have liked to be a pilot
In a screaming bomber jet
Kamikaze, delightful nickname, the way I used to put breath
On the line, set myself completely on an adrenalin-fuelled,
All or nothing high, sweaty equine neck between my hands,
Just a blur of power, speed and strength, and no fear
Nothing held me back.
When did I become afraid? Afraid I would forget to land,
When did I press the autopilot button?
I was never afraid of getting hurt,
Is this what it's like, growing up? Or am I just undermined
By circumstance? Now's your chance, ask again -
I want to dance
Yes.
