Story Behind The Song

Chancing his arm on social media the protagonist gets to fly to meet a woman he long admired - but in the background - getting back in time to pick up his partner from work

Lyrics

Mad Idea

I hadn't seen you since you left the State
But I saw your name on another's page
And curiosity got the better of me

Cause you were in my mind - celebrity
Silky and assured - your man at your feet
But I heard he cut the scene

It seems a mad idea that I'm the one who gets to be
Flying to you
I feel like a crazy jetting through clouds
Eight miles up here in the air
Carrying it out this mad idea

It wasn't easy making that e-comment
But when I saw you write your laugh out loud
I guessed you'd opened up since he sent you down

And maybe you're acting in desperation
Losing your air of elevation
With your wounds so raw

Here I am on this turnaround
To grab a few minutes cause I'm desperate to know you
Gotta return to get my lady from work
When she looks me in the eye will she see right through
