SYD to LAX 03:40
Laying face to face If you don't flinch then I won't turn away And bent all out of shape On this 15 hour flight we can barely stay awake I just wanna be back home, But I don't want to be alone So lay us down to rest When I tell you bout' myself feels like a test A high above ground Now your fast asleep, swear I won't make a sound I just wanna be back home, But I don't want to be alone And wake from vacant rest To something I wouldn't touch never mind digest To kiss both cheeks, Shake hands, farewell, I promise I'll write next week I just wanna be back home, But I don't want to be alone I just wanna be, But I don't want to be back home

Like nothing's happened, old flames have gathered To send you on your way It stands to reason, you're out of season It's time to change cities again Basically, I mean to say Would you give me a try Before it's all goodbyes Before we say goodnight Oh gone right on, the strength of old 10 drinks and we're away Tomorrow's not today Down til Tuesday, start again Framed believers And sermons of heathens We'll dance, never give an inch away Where grass looks greener The air smells sweeter Our invites got lost in the post Basically, I mean to say Would you give me a try Before it's all goodbyes Before we say goodnight Oh gone right on, the strength of old 10 drinks and we're away Tomorrow's not today Down til Tuesday, start again It's just this need, to own all we see Pictures of fame, washed down the drain Pictures of you, so happy in blue C'mon act your age The world's not a stage They've all moved on, kids houses and jobs You're not 23, you're in the wrong scene Our Western disease Wait til Fridays to release On Monday chomp another bitter pill I'll buy you all a round Just to stop from coming down Tell me your name again by the way Basically, I mean to say Would you give me a try Before it's all goodbyes Before we say goodnight Oh gone right on, the strength of old 10 drinks and we're away Tomorrow's not today Down til Tuesday, start again

about

This double A side is the third release by Michael Sanderson, a singer songwriter, originally from Australia, currently based in Germany.

‘SYD to LAX’ is a melodic ballad describing the irony of strangers forming an intimate bond within the confines of a long international flight, only to part ways and never see each other again.

‘Stolen Glances’ creates a contrasting blend of upbeat piano- and guitar-driven melodies with melancholic lyrics that contemplate the transition from youth to midlife.
