David Lingabee Songs & Songwriting

I find myself trapped inside my body,
I wonder if this is the right place for me to be,
A little concerned that this is not what I should be doing,
But no one saying maybe you should take another look and see.

I have dreams at night of flying outside my body,
Traveling to and back from places I’ve never been,
Yet there’s something deep inside that inspires a wonder,
Did I go there, did it happen, was I really there.

Chorus
I can tell you it feels calming to be outside my body,
The feeling is light and very natural without a care,
It’s so exciting to think that life could be this simple,
Am I a fool to think that I should always be hovering there.

An ethereal lightness that seems so pleasant and oh so magical,
It nothing like what I’ve been experiencing for oh so long,
It’s changed my view of how my life should really continue,
I’m so inspired I’m trying to tell you in this song.

You can think you have it pretty good inside a body,
You’ve been successful in providing the things that make life great,
You have it all and then some extra in case of problems,
Your friends agree you’ve won the game and changed your fate.

Chorus
I can tell you it feels calming to be outside my body,
The feeling is light and very natural without a care,
It’s so exciting to think that life could be this simple,
Am I a fool to think that I should always be hovering there.

When I sleep or rest I sometimes float around the planet,
It makes this sleep thing more a game instead of dull,
Whether I am doing it or not is not up for discussion,
The only person I want to prove it to is myself.

I have learned when you’re outside it’s never lonely,
It’s so restricting to live inside a physical form,
You are caught within the laws of matter and energy,
They don’t like spirits, in fact they can’t even understand.

Chorus
I can tell you it feels calming to be outside my body,
The feeling is light and very natural without a care,
It’s so exciting to think that life could be this simple,
Am I a fool to think that I should always be hovering there.
______

I am myself, I am a spirit inside a body,
I am excited to know I can separate when I feel confined,
There’s so much freedom when you know you are a spirit,
It’s nice to know you can leave those limits so far behind.

Chorus
I can tell you it feels calming to be outside my body,
The feeling is light and very natural without a care,
It’s so exciting to think that life could be this simple,
Am I a fool to think that I should always be hovering there.
