Staying Here MAG
Is there nowhere to go?
 
 I will keep all my things
 In Ziploc bags
 And suitcases
 So I won't have to believe 
 I'm staying here.
 
 I'm told to think of
 An open space.
 I see a field and hills
 That grow larger 
 Every time I look up
 To see the sky.
 What color? I can't tell, really.
 Does this mean I'm stuck?
 Please don't tell me
 I'm staying here.
 
 I want to live on an airplane,
 Though I don't have much to offer,
 I would leave for Utah
 With you.
 Just so you could see her.
 And I could travel with you.
 I want to see you smile.
 Don't let me believe
 I'm staying here.
 
 Tell me when you want to leave.
 I'll keep all my things in
 Ziploc bags and suitcases
 Taking up as little space as possible
 So I don't have to believe
 I'm staying here.
