Songs That Are Worth Checking Out + Why

Why I love it: I was 19 and had just moved into my first own apartment. I had discovered REO Speedwagon through Supernatural (Can't Fight This Feeling), and it was time to check out some more songs from them. In addition to 'In My Dreams', 'Here With Me' and 'Take It On The Run', this one really stood out. I had been dumped not even a month ago, and I was still so much in love, but I knew I needed to let go. Every time I listen to this song, I'm transported there; to my little apartment, the kind of life I was leading, the people I loved then, the recovery from the previous year, and trying to get back on my feet after a bad start to the year 2016.

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly
It's time for me to fly
