Free Falling, Tom Petty waned

Over the promise
the words that were written
by a wordsmith who projected
what might be a projection
that obliterates all the distrust,
and captured all that we love

The simple chords: D, G and A.
Yeah, I'm free, free falling.
Oh, I wish to be.

A wordsmith knows a good song,
they feel it in their bones to be the truest
thing.

It sticks. Yeah, it's easy.
You can repeat it over again,
Yeah, people like it.

She's a good girl.

Because it's poetry,
simple.
Clear as a bell!
Yeah, I'm free!

I want to glide down
I want to write her name in the sky,
I'm gonna free fall, out into nothing

I'm gonna leave this world for awhile

Yeah, I'm free

Some guy writes something simple
like this and puts simple chords to it

and somehow people gravitate towards
this hopeful thought

And it's worth it
informed people say,

only because it's true.
