Leanne from Chasing Echoes by Phil Henry

She packs the car and takes off down the road
Her paycheck cashed, it’s enough for gas and tolls
She’s got a ticket for the show -A club date in Buffalo
She can hardly wait, eight hours left to go
Tonight, she’s front and center for the band
She knows every word by heart, she’s their biggest fan
And they’ll see her from the stage
When they step to the mics to play
And she’ll laugh out loud when they call her name - Leanne

I wanna be - As free as Leanne
And I wanna love just as honestly
I wanna live today the best way that I can
I learned that much from you - My sweet Leanne

I see Leanne at the gate at JFK
Where she somehow talks Thor’s Hammer through TSA
She's on her way to go
To Comic Con in San Diego
And when she begs me to I change my flight and I follow
And everywhere we go is a fantasy
Of aliens and heroes from the screen
And in her glory is Leanne
She was always the biggest fan
And I love the way she loves her way - Through the world

I wanna be - As free as Leanne
And I wanna love just as honestly
I wanna live today the best way that I can
I learned that much from you - My sweet Leanne

And who's to say -Whose life isn’t real?
Cause happy is as happy makes you feel

Now I’m stuck here in the office, 10am
And my thoughts keep wandering to Leanne again
And I wonder what she’d say
To see me waste the day away
I can hardly wait, eight hours left to go
