Mostly I'm alone a lot
|
Mostly I guess you're not
|
Forgive me if I stop and stare
|
I was just unprepared
|
That the world has fallen at your feet
|
You hardly even missed a beat
|
And every day those wings beat a little stronger
|
And every night for me just gets a little longer
|
|
You've gone on a million miles from here
|
Swept up like a feather in the air
|
You make it look so easy, it doesn't seem quite fair
|
Baby I'm still trying
|
To get myself up and flying
|
|
I should be farther along by now
|
I just can't catch a breeze somehow
|
I should be free to leave the ground
|
No dreams left to weigh me down
|
Could you tell me what I have to do
|
I've been trying to deny the truth
|
But here it is, living proof
|
The one that I love loves someone new
|
|
You've gone on a million miles from here
|
Swept up like a feather in the air
|
You make it look so easy, it doesn't seem quite fair
|
Baby I'm still trying
|
To get myself up and flying
|
|
You make it look so easy, it doesn't seem quite fair
|
Baby I'm still trying
|
To get myself up and flying
|
